The Barbie Doll was named after the daughter of Ruth and Elliot Handler, founders of Mattel Toy Company. They created the original fashion doll in 1959 after noticing that Barbara, their daughter, preferred teenage cutout dolls to the then rampant cooers and burpers. Barbie's design was based on a German doll called Bild Lilli. March 9, 1959 is Barbie's official birthday. Two years later, her brother became the prototype of Ken.
