The surname "BARIOS" is believed to have originated in Spain, specifically in the region of Catalonia. It can be traced back to the 12th century and is thought to be derived from the Spanish word "barrio," which means a neighborhood or district within a town or city.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the surname Barios can be found in the Catalonian town of Terrassa, where a family by the name of Barios was documented in the local church records from the late 13th century. The name was also present in various medieval manuscripts and documents from the regions of Barcelona and Valencia.
