Talk:Figaro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Figaro absolutely does NOT mean barber in French; the word for barber is "barbier", from "barbe" (beard) in French. The word "Figaro" is not French in origin, and does not mean anything in this language beyond the opera character's name (i.e. "Le barbier de Séville").

2007-10-03 I agree, Figaro absolutely doesn't mean barber in French. Frederic, native francophone as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.130.146 (talk) 18:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
