beard in greek = γενειάδα
βαρκα = Barca
Boat in Spanish (small boat)
Doesn't Barbarian come from the Greek word "Bárbaros", meaning foreigner? If so, then it has little to do with Romans shaving/Germans not.

Indeed it does. In Latin however,
barbaria -ae f. [a foreign country] , as opposed to Greece and Rome, but
barbarus -a -um [foreign , strange; *uncultivated, rough, savage*]
however
barbatus -a -um [bearded]
Looks to me that barbar- and barbat- were two different things in Latin as well. Besides, the Greeks often wore beards and they were obviously not considered as neither "savage" not "foreigners"...

I admit I didn't know that. In classic Greek πώγων (pogon) = the facial hair growing on one's chin (also applied for animals). Trying to figure out how come they had both πώγων and γένειον to signify the beard... hmm.

IN SPANISH WE CAN SAY BARBUDO LIKE BARBU IN FRENCH, AN ADJECTIVE AND BARBA IS THE NOUN
Marina said "In Romanian is "barba" as well! (In Dacian - barbat = man)".
You can not prove that <Bărbat (Man)> is of Dacian origin. It is obvious that the word is having its roots in Latin <Barbatus>. Some of this so-called Dacian words have been considered as being Dacian just for nationalistic propaganda purposes. Also, some other words that you've learned them as having Dacian ethymology, are actually of Latin origin.
Bătrân (Old) = Veteranus (Veteran, eng) Vetranus>Vetran>Batran>Bătrân)
Brânză (Cheese) = Prandium (Lunch, eng) (Pranzium>Pranzum>Brânză)
Copilă, Copil (Child) = Copia (Copy, Reproduction)
