Linguistic explanation and meaning

Barunka is a tender form of the name Barbora, which originally means “foreigner”.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Barunka je česká domácka a zdrobnená podoba mena Barbora. Jeho etymologickým základom je grécke barbaros, označujúce človeka hovoriaceho cudzím, negréckym jazykom; pri ženskom mene sa význam podáva ako „cudzinka“. Český pôvod domáckeho tvaru treba odlišovať od gréckeho pôvodu základného mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Grécky pôvod a českú domácku podobu Barunka dokladá jazykový výklad Českého rozhlasu: Barborka. Zahraničné podoby základného mena uvádza Behind the Name: Barbara. Medzinárodné ekvivalenty sa vzťahujú na Barboru/Barbaru; uvedené zdrobneniny sú spoločné domácke podoby tohto mena, nie všetky priame odvodeniny Barunky. Slovenské pádové tvary sú pravidelne odvodené podľa vzoru žena. Priame overenie hesla Barunka v monografii Milana Majtána ani v materiáloch JÚĽŠ SAV nebolo vykonané.
