Barbara Eden, who turned 94 in August, stunned fans with her youthful appearance in a new photo shared on Instagram for the Easter holiday.
According to legend, Saint Barbara was a young woman killed by her father Dioscorus, who was then killed by a bolt of lightning. She is the patron of architects, geologists, stonemasons and artillerymen. Because of her renown, the name came into general use in the Christian world in the Middle Ages.
Barbara Allen is a traditional folk song that is popular throughout the English-speaking world. There are several songs by several different artists of the same name. Characters named Barabara have also appeared in several works by Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray.
The reason for the name is unknown; some suggest it is from the woman's name Barbara, others that it is perhaps from Latin barbata, in Medieval Latin usnea barbata, literally "bearded moss."
Monique Andrée Serf (9 June 1930 – 24 November 1997), [1] known as Barbara, was a French singer. She took her stage name from her grandmother, Varvara Brodsky, a native of Odesa, Ukraine.
