Bârna (Hungarian: Barnafalva; German: Birnau; Ukrainian: Брна) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

It is composed of seven villages: Bârna (commune seat), Botești, Botinești, Drinova, Jurești, Pogănești and Sărăzani.

Located in the Săraz Valley, surrounded by forests, with villages located some on hills, others along the water, Bârna is one of the communes in the east of Timiș County and borders Fârdea to the east, Lugoj to the west, Traian Vuia to the north and Criciova and Nădrag to the south.

[4] The first recorded mention of Bârna dates from 1514,[5] when it belonged to the family of George of Brandenburg-Ansbach, heir of the Hunyadis.

After World War II, the locality began to gradually lose its inhabitants, becoming one of the smallest in Timiş County.

After the conquest of Banat by the Austrians, in 1717 the first census took place, in which Botineşti was found to have 15 houses, so it had well passed the period of Ottoman occupation and was still inhabited.

Before 1848, it was in the possession of the knight Nicolae Malenița, whose descendants owned the village until 1880, when it became the property of George Klein.

The first recorded mention of Jurești (Hungarian: Györösd; German: Schürest) dates from 1569, when it belonged to Hunedoara County.

Located in a safer area, it continued to be inhabited during the Turkish period, as attested by Marsigli's writings from 1690–1700 and the Austrian census of 1717.

Sărăzani (Hungarian: Szárazány; German: Sarassing) first appears in written records in 1514, but the locality is older and most likely was in the possession of John Hunyadi.

The name of the locality comes from sarazini, which in the old Romanian language denoted the people who built and defended the wooden gates of the medieval fortresses.
