German equivalent to the name "Barbara"

I recently found a death record for a German-born ancestor who died in Pittsburgh, PA. On the record, it gives his parents' names as Joseph and Barbara. Since the ancestor was born in Germany, I'm assuming his parents were also German but that is not confirmed. It appears that his parents' names have been anglicized. Joseph was likely Josef or Jozef but what is the German equivalent of Barbara? Thanks for any assistance other researchers can offer.
