Barrett Surname Name Meaning, Origin, History, & Etymology
This last name has four origin theories or meanings. First, it is a baptismal/patronymic surname meaning “the son of Berold” a spelling variant of the medieval French personal (first) name Berraud. As a masculine given name, it appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 AD, a survey of Wales and England ordered by William the Conqueror, in county York. Second, it may have developed as a nickname for a deceitful or quarrelsome person, deriving from the Middle English word barrat or barrette, meaning trouble, deception, cheating, or strife, ultimately from the Old French word barat, meaning dealings, commerce, barter, or haggle, similar to the Italian Baratta, the word for a market trader in England. Third, it could be an occupational name from the Old French word barette, meaning cap or bonnet, the maker of caps or hats. Fourth, it may derive from the Germanic or Teutonic Bernwald, consisting of the words bern (bear) and wald (rule), also lending itself to the medieval first names Beornhard in England and Bernhard in German (the termination hard means strong/brave). The Barretts of North Mayo, Ireland, were Lords of Tirawley. Once source asserts the name was introduced into Ireland by the Anglo-Norman invaders who began coming in 1169 AD. A branch, spelled Barratt, established themselves in Cork and spelled their name Baroid in Irish. Another branch of the family tree, spelled Barrett, settled in the Connacht counties of Galway and Mayo where the name was Gaelicized as Bareid. Strongbow (Earl of Pembroke in Wales, Richard de Clare, who lived from 1130-1176) granted the family lands in counties Mayo and Cork. Clan Barrett is an Irish clan of Norman origin, that includes septs like MacEvilly, MacWattin, MacAndrew, and MacPadine.

In his book A Genealogical History of Irish Families, John Rooney, states the following in regard to this family: “After the advent of the family to Ireland they acquired a tract of territory in the County of Cork, known as Barrett’s Country and at present as the barony of Barretts, and comprising over 26,000 acres. When Hugh O’Neill was marching to the siege of Kinsale, in 1600, he asked, when passing Castlemore, who lived in the castle. He was told that it was ” Barrett, a good Catholic, whose family had possessed the estate about four hundred years” and “Many of the latter were noted ecclesiastics, among them, the Most Rev. Richard Barrett, Bishop of Killala, 1536, and Thomas Barrett, of Elphin, who is described as ” a noble prelate, full of good qualities” and “During the Williamite and Jacobite wars of 1688-91, Colonel John Barrett, of the Cork Barretts, the chief representative of the family, raised a regiment of infantry, which he commanded in the cause of King James the Second during the contest. He also sat for the borough of Mallow in the Dublin Parliament of 1689”.

In England, the name was first located in Lincolsnhire, where a one Matthew Baret was documented around 1152 AD, later having been established in other counties such as Hertfordshire, Essex, Yorkshire, and Nottinghamshire.
