What is the meaning of the name Babi ?

The baby name Babi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈbɑːbi/ or /ˈbɑbi/ (BAH-bee).

Babi is English, Slavic in Origin.

Babi is chiefly a Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese diminutive of Bárbara (Barbara), from Greek bárbaros meaning "foreigner" or "outsider." As with many affectionate short forms, it began as a nickname and has occasionally been adopted as a standalone given name since the late twentieth century, especially in Iberia and Brazil; usage elsewhere remains rare and informal.

Related forms in the Barbara family include Barbie, Babette, Babs, Babsy, and Babbie; cognates are Barbora (Czech/Slovak) and Varvara (Russian/Greek), though Babi itself is rare there. The name also matches the spelling of an ancient Egyptian baboon deity, a cultural link, not the etymology. Notable bearers include Brazilian model Babi Rossi and author Babi Dewet, while "Babi" is the nickname of the character Bárbara in well-known Spanish films. Predominantly feminine, the name feels lively and affectionate. Note: in Indonesian and Malay, babi means "pig," which may affect perception.
