personal name Barnabas, which was borne by the companion of St
Paul (Acts 4:36). This is of Aramaic origin, from Barnabia ‘son
of Nabia’, a personal name perhaps meaning
‘confession’.

named with the Old English personal name Beornwald (composed of
the elements beorn ‘young warrior’ + wald ‘rule’) + Old
Norse býr ‘settlement’.
