Why is Barbie called Barbie?

Most people's impression of Barbie comes from the United States, so it is natural to think that the people who created Barbie are Americans. In fact, Barbie's predecessor is the Lily doll in Germany. 1957, Ms. Ruth Handler, one of the founders of Mattel, met this girl. Her height was 1 1.5 inches (about 29 cm), 39,18,33. She is just what Ruth wants. After returning to the United States, Ruth immediately negotiated Bill's portrait right, which was transformed by Mattel's designer. The designer mainly made the makeup on Bi Er's face reflect the popular feeling in the 1950s-sexy and mysterious like Marilyn Monroe. In addition, Ruth named the doll Barbie with the nickname of her youngest daughter Barbara, and Barbie's boyfriend Kenny was the name of Ruth's son.
