Barrett (name)
Barrett is an Irish surname. It is derived from the Gaelic Bairéid. Popular in both south-east and south-west Ireland, it is most common in the Irish counties of Mayo and Galway but particularly County Cork. The Barretts first appeared in Ireland following the Norman invasion. As with many other Anglo-Norman families, they were quickly assimilated into Irish culture. Another translation for Barrett is "warlike people".[1]
People with the surname Barrett are largely found in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Jamaica, and Denmark.[2]
