Barnabi is Aramaic in Origin.
Barnabi is a modern variant of Barnaby, the English form of Barnabas. The name came through Greek Barnabas from Aramaic bar "son" plus a prophetic root; Acts explains it as "son of encouragement" or "son of consolation," and it is often rendered "son of prophecy." The apostle Barnabas, companion of Paul, gave the name wide currency in the early Christian world.
In England, Barnaby was used from the Middle Ages - linked with St Barnabas's Day ("Barnaby Bright") - and has seen periodic revivals. Barnabi reflects cross-linguistic spellings while preserving the same meaning. Related forms include Barnaby (English), Barnabas (Biblical/Latin), Barnabé (French/Portuguese), Barnaba (Italian/Polish), Bernabé (Spanish), and Barnabás (Hungarian); common nicknames are Barney and Barny.
