- Origins Available:
 England The origins of the name Barbery are with the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from a baptismal name meaning son of Barbara. 1 In some instances, the name may have also been a nickname for someone, such as a Moor or Berber, who appeared to be of North African heritage. In such a case the name is a reference to the Barbary Coast of North Africa. Another source notes that the name may be Norman in origin as he notes that "Barberi, famous of Old Forits Abbey (1170), is a parish near Falaise, in Normandy." 2 Early Origins of the Barbery familyThe surname Barbery was first found in London, where the BarBerry spelling was the most popular.
