Barytt is in Origin.

Barytt is a modern respelling of Barrett/Barritt, an English surname later adopted as a given name. The surname stems from Anglo-Norman French barat, meaning "bargaining, commerce; contention or trickery," used as a nickname for a sharp dealer or disputatious person. It appears in English records from the 12th–13th centuries and entered Ireland with Norman settlers, where it was sometimes Gaelicised as Bairéad.

As a first name, Barrett rose in Anglophone use in the late 20th century; Barytt follows contemporary preferences for y-insertion and a double -tt ending, but remains rare. Established variants include Barrett, Barret, Barratt, Barritt, and Baret; creative forms include Barett and Baryt. Common short forms are Rett and Barry. For modern bearers, the name’s sense evokes negotiation, bartering, and debate. Despite its look, Barytt is unrelated to the mineral barite (baryte) (from Greek barys, "heavy").
