Barita is in Origin.

Barita is an uncommon feminine given name with several plausible roots. In Spanish, barita is the word for the mineral barite (barium sulfate), ultimately from Greek barys, “heavy.” As a name, this lends symbolic meanings of groundedness, steadiness, and gravity. In parts of the Balkans, Barita is also treated as a diminutive or playful variant of Barbara (via the pet form Bara + the affectionate suffix -ita), aligning it with the classic meaning “foreign/strange” from Greek barbaros.

Documented usage is modern and rare, appearing sporadically from the mid-20th century in Latin America, the Caribbean, and diaspora communities, sometimes chosen for its nature/mineral association or as a creative blend of Bari and Rita. Short forms include Bari and Rita. Related names and variants to consider are Barbara, Barica, and Baritha; the spelling Baríta may appear in Spanish contexts but is not standard.
