Barbarella
Latin origin
“An elaborate, theatrical feminization of Barbara (from Latin barbara, meaning 'foreign' or 'wild'), with the glamorous -ella suffix popularized by French and Italian naming traditions. Barbarella evokes 1960s sci-fi camp, sparkle, and retro-futuristic style; it's a name for parents who want their daughter's name to feel like an adventure.”
