Don't forget that the word "barbaros" (barbarian) originally was not necessarily derogatory. (It just meant a foreigner (one of those people who go "bar-bar-bar-bar").) (In Ancient Greek the letter "beta" had a b sound, not a v sound as in Modern Greek.)
Derives from the Greek word: ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΣ and its feminine form: ΒΑΡΒΑΡΑ = barbarian.
