BAR.Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] word for son; used, especially in NT times, as the first component of personal names, such as Bar-abbas, Bar-jesus, Bar-jonah, etc.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Bar, a Hebrew word meaning son, but used only poetically in that language (Psa_2:12; Pro_31:2). In Syriac, however, Bar answered to the more common Hebrew word for son, i.e. ben; and hence in later times, in the New Testament, it takes the same place in the formation of proper names which Ben had formerly occupied in the Old Testament.
