Baritt is in Origin.

Baritt is a modern given-name spelling of the English surname Barrett/Barritt, rooted in Middle English and Anglo-Norman French. The surname arose either from barat/baratt, a word for commerce, bargaining, and sometimes contentious dealing - hence a nickname for a trader or a feisty negotiator - or from the continental Germanic personal names Bérard/Bernhard (bern “bear” + hard “brave, hardy”). Brought to Britain by Norman influence, Barrett became well established in England and, through Norman settlement, in Ireland, where it has long-standing regional families.

As a first name, Baritt follows the contemporary trend of adopting brisk, occupational-style surnames. The spelling is rare, with Barrett, Barratt, Barritt, Barret, and French Barrette the more common variants; related nicknames include Barry and the modern “Bear.” Meanings offered for Baritt reflect its twin roots: “dealer/controversialist” on the one hand, or “bear-strong, brave as a bear” on the other.
