Barbarian is derived from the Greek βάρβαρος (barbaros; English barbarous) "foreign", which arises from the ancient Greeks' characterization of unintelligible foreign speech (i.e. bar bar).

The feminine name, Barbara, which means "foreign" or "foreigner", is also derived from barbaros.

The Latin equivalent of barbaros is exteras.
