A dapper name with a dapper sound, Barber is sure to help baby keep up a snazzy demeanor. Coming from the Middle English barbour or German barbier, this masculine name translates to “barber,” referring to the age-old profession of cutting hair and beards. It’s a fitting meaning, since Barber also comes from the Latin barba, meaning “beard.” Of course, baby’s not going to be growing a beard anytime soon. However, if your family includes a line of hairstylists and barbers, this name can help baby share that same love for the wearable art form.
