If, improbably, my knowledge is reliable, then _Barry_ is from an Irish
toponym (or toponymic formant), and _Garcia_ is a Basque name (*very*
unreliable recollection, that). I've no idea what either word
means in its original language. I imagine you'd be _Barry Garcia_. I
also imagine that, born in London to a Hungarian sire, I in Bethisad remain
_And Rosta_.
BTW, what does _Bethesda_ mean? It keeps popping into my head when I see
_Bethisad_.
