Barbarette is a unique and historic feminine given name of French origin. Derived from the Occitan word 'barba,' meaning beard, it was traditionally given to girls born with a tuft of hair on their chin. This custom was particularly prevalent in Provence, France. Barbarette's usage peaked during the Middle Ages and has since become quite rare, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Barbarette has seen only six occurrences since its introduction in 1964, with no additional instances recorded after that year.
