Meaning: Son of consolation

Whether you're inspired by the friendly purple dinosaur or Homer's pal from The Simpsons, Barnie is a Greek gem that truly stands out. Barnie is a kind reminder for your little one to be a supportive and encouraging force in all their relationships, as this moniker means "son of consolation." This originates in the Christian figure Joseph the Levite of Cyprus, who gained the name Barnabas from his steadfast beliefs and ability to console friends such as the Apostle Paul. Barnabas is formed when we combine the Aramaic bar, meaning "son," with nabha, signifying "prophecy exhortation." With a name like Barnie, baby will be firm in their beliefs even in the face of skepticism.
