Basically a female name that means "from our nation", "civilized", "cultured", "learned", "well-spoken" in opposition to "foreign", "babbling", "savage" as Barbara is meant to convey.
(I have a Barbara & a Patricia as cousins...)The Latinate suffixes -ia [daughter of...] & -ana [woman of...] can both imply citizenship of their name roots. LYDIA & ROMANA are two examples.
