Barritt Origin and Meaning
Barritt is an uncommon feminine name with English surname origins. Historically a family name derived from either the Old English 'baret' meaning 'dispute' or possibly from the medieval given name 'Barret' (a diminutive of Barry), it has occasionally transitioned to first-name usage. The double 't' spelling gives it a distinctive appearance compared to the more standard 'Barrett.' As a feminine name, Barritt represents the growing trend of adopting surnames as given names for girls, offering strength and uniqueness. The name carries a certain dignified quality while maintaining a contemporary edge. Though rare as a first name, especially for girls, Barritt appeals to parents seeking uncommon options with historical depth and a subtle unisex quality.
