Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Barbuda , -an suffix.

Etymology: < Barbuda, the name of an island in the Lesser Antilles (Leeward Islands) + -an suffix. Compare earlier Barbudian n.The place name name is found in English contexts from the beginning of the 17th cent.; it reflects the Spanish place name Barbuda (early 16th cent. as la Barbuda ) < barbuda , use as noun of the feminine of barbudo bearded (see barbudo n.), perhaps so called on account of the appearance of the vegetation; compare the name of Barbados and the discussion at Barbadian n. In early use the place name also appears as †Barbada (17th cent.), reflecting Spanish la Barbada (16th cent.) < the feminine of Spanish barbado bearded, formed with a different suffix, but used interchangeably with barbudo in the early modern period. As a result, the name of the island can be difficult to distinguish from that of Barbados in some early texts.

A. adj.

Of, belonging to, or relating to Barbuda or its natives or inhabitants.Formerly a British colony, Barbuda gained independence in 1981 and is part of the nation of Antigua and Barbuda.
