Barberena Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Barberena is a Basque surname. Its etymology comes from the Castilian word barber whose function, in other times, was not as specific as that of today. This profession, in the rural area, also included the activities of surgeon or dentist. The suffixation of the possessive particle -(r)ena expresses property or descent from it. If we referred to oiconymy, we would translate it as 'the barber's house or workshop' but, in a name-numerically sense, we would refer to his most direct progeny.
