O topónimo Vilar alude precisamente à povoação inicial, um “villar” (povoação) que nada tem com a definição comum de fracção de “villa” agrária, e Barroco é um qualificativo que alude à topografia local. Significa vale estreito e profundo por onde corre geralmente um curso de água. Situada nas faldas da Serra do Muradal, e sendo nesta zona que tem início a ribeira da Malhadancha, que corre num estreito e profundo vale, Vilar Barroco será “a povoação do barroco”. O topónimo principal da freguesia é explicado topograficamente por este trecho do Abade de Miragaia (Pedro Augusto Ferreira): “Vilar Barroco demora na pendente oeste da Serra do Muradal e tomou o nome de uma profunda e estreita garganta que lhe fica a sopé, por onde corre a ribeira da Malhadança”.
