In Italian "barro" means "búcaro," white clay found in various places in the world and mainly in America. When it is wet, it gives off a pleasant odor. The augmentative of this type of clay indicates probably the place where large jars are made. "Barrón" is also the augmentative of "barra," a perennial plant of the grass family.

Castilian name from Logroño.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

The word Baron is of Celtic extraction, and originally synonymous with man in general. It has this meaning in the Salic law, and in. the laws of the Lombards; in the English law, the phrase baron and feme is equivalent to man and wife. It was afterward used to denote a man of respectability, a stout or valiant man; and Barone was also used by the Italians to signify a beggar.

From denoting a stout or valiant man, it was employed as a name for a distinguished military leader, who having fought and conquered under some great commander, was afterward rewarded by him with a part of the lands which he had acquired.

As a surname, it was originally Le Baron, The Baron. Gaelic, Baran, a baron.
