# And just as I read that
they said the word "barber" in this ep of American Dad.

This means something.

# The etymology of the word barbarian I find fascinating.
Originally the classical peoples couldn't understand the tongue. It just sounded like "barbarbarbarbarbar" to them.

Also, these barbarians chaps had beards. So having a beard was a sign of being barbarous. Eventually, the word became associated with facial hair, to the point where we get our term for male hair dressing from it.

# it meant anyone couldn't speak Greek,
compare "babble" and, perhaps more interestingly, "baby".

# also I'm afraid to say I think the barber connection is a bit suspicious,
because the Greeks all had beards as well.

# Even the women?
I think you're getting confused with dwarves.

# For the Ancient Greeks
the word Barbarian more or less translated 'as those who babble'
