The baby name Barth is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /bɑrθ/ (BAHRTH).
Barth is Aramaic in Origin.
Barth is a clipped form of Bartholomew and its German counterpart Bartholomäus, ultimately from Aramaic bar-Talmay, meaning “son of Talmai.” Talmai is commonly linked to Hebrew telem, “furrow,” yielding interpretations such as “son of the furrow” or “abundant in land.” In German and Dutch contexts, Barth also exists as an independent given name and as a transferred surname (either from the short form Bart or the coastal town of Barth in Mecklenburg).
The name entered European naming through the veneration of the apostle Saint Bartholomew and appears as the compact Barth in records from the 17th century onward. Today it remains rare, used sporadically in German-speaking countries and the United States as a sharper alternative to Bart. Variants and cognates include Bart, Barto, Barty, Tolly, Bat; Bartholomew (English), Bartholomäus (German), Barthélemy (French), Bartolomé (Spanish), Bartolomeo (Italian), Bartłomiej/Bartek/Bartosz (Polish), and Vartholomaios (Greek).
