Toponymy

The name comes from Barvac or Barvak a cacique of the area around 1569, which in turn might come from either:

  • From New Tlapallan in Nahuatl language, or Tla pallapan, which in Huetar language was Tabaraba or Abaraba, hispanicized as Barba and meaning Black River or Dark River as explained by José Fidel Tristán in 1910.[3][4]
  • Bal (town) and wac (anteater), meaning Anteater Town, according to Luis Ferrero.[4]
  • Bar or bur (bees) with ba or bac (tribe), meaning Bees Tribe, as explained by bishop Bernardo Augusto Thiel y Hoffmann in late 19th century, from sources from 1575 and 1599.[4]

By Decree 188 of 4 October 1974, the name changes from Barba to Barva.
