The REAL Top Baby Names of All Time!

<p>Barbra is a feminine name that emerged as a variant spelling of Barbara, which comes from Greek origins meaning 'foreign woman' or 'stranger.' This spelling was particularly popularized by legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand, who adopted this variant of her birth name Barbara. The dropped middle 'a' creates a more streamlined pronunciation that better matches how the name is commonly said. While less common than the traditional Barbara, this variant has maintained steady usage since the mid-20th century, largely due to Streisand's influence. Barbra carries the same classic, strong qualities as Barbara but with a slightly more modern feel. The name evokes sophistication and artistic talent, thanks to its famous namesake, while still connecting to the long history of Barbara as a traditional women's name.</p>
