de grc βάρος weight, following the trail of earlier units of pressure en barad 1888, fr barye 1900 and en bar old unit 1903, all of which however referred to a dyne per square centimetre, i.e. a microbar. The current sense and form was first proposed by Vilhelm Bjerknes, who published it in 1906.

bar unit of pressure, a megadyne per square centimetre from 1906
de Beiträge zur Physik der freien Atmosphäre 1906 2 Strasbourg Hilfsgrößen zur Berechnung der Druckverteilung in der Atmoshpäre an den internationalen Tagen 1900–1903 w:Vilhelm Bjerknes w:Johan Wilhelm Sandström 1 Da unser Ziel eine weitergehende Diskussion der Dynamik der Atmosphäre ist, können wir uns nur absoluter Maße bedienen. Dahe muß die gewöhnliche irrationelle Druckeinheit, das mm Hg., aufgeben und durch eine entsprechende, dem absoluten Maßsysteme angehörende Einheit ersetzt werden. Als solche praktische Einheit ist oft die Megadyne pro Quadratzentimeter vorgeschlagen worden. Diese Einheit werden wir ein Bar nennen. Das Bar wird in Dezi-, Zenti- und Millibar geteilt, und das Millibar ersetzt das mm Hg. Das Millibar beträgt sehr nahe 3 4 oder genauer 0.75006 mm Hg. Since our aim is a more comprehensive discussion of atmospheric dynamics, we must employ absolute units exclusively. Consequently, the conventional irrational unit of pressure, the mmHg, must be abandoned and replaced by a corresponding unit belonging to the absolute system of measurement. The megadyne per square centimeter has often been proposed as such a practical unit. We shall call this unit a bar. The bar is subdivided into decibars, centibars, and millibars, with the millibar replacing the mmHg. The millibar is very nearly equal to 3 4 or more precisely 0.75006 of a mmHg.
