Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Slovenské meno Barnabáš vzniklo prostredníctvom latinského Barnabas z biblického gréckeho tvaru Barnabás, ktorý vychádza z aramejského mena. Skutky apoštolov ho vykladajú ako „syn útechy“ či „syn povzbudenia“, ide však skôr o biblický významový výklad než o istú etymológiu. Pôvodný aramejský základ sa vysvetľuje viacerými spôsobmi.
