Treat Barrett as a personal name, not as an ordinary noun whose meaning can be guessed from the surrounding sentence. It is used both as a family name and as a masculine given name, and it normally begins with a capital B. Remember its spelling by visually grouping it as Barr + ett, with double r and double t. A class list, signature, or form is a useful setting: “Barrett was written as the family name.” Since names can have variant spellings such as Barret, always follow the spelling used by the person concerned.

barrett の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Barrett は主に英愛系の姓に由来し、アングロ・ノルマン系では古フランス語 barat（策略・ごまかし）に結びつくとされます。はっきりした分解語ではありませんが、人の気質や呼び名が名になった形で、関連語に barratry があり、古い語感が残っています。
Barrett is chiefly an English and Irish surname that later also came into use as a masculine given name. One commonly cited Anglo-Norman line connects the name with Old French barat, a word associated with contention, trickery, or deceit, possibly reflecting an old nickname. However, surnames with the same modern spelling may have more than one historical source. Barrett is therefore best treated as an inherited proper name rather than as a transparently divisible modern English formation.
