The Irish Barrett surname originates from the Norman name “Baret,” introduced during the Norman invasion of Ireland. Settling mainly in Cork and Mayo/Galway, the family established two prominent branches that soon embraced Irish customs. The name likely stems from the Norman-French barat (trader) or as a nickname for a quarrelsome individual. While the family arrived in the 1170s, early notable figures include Wattin Barrett around 1300 and John Barrett in the early 14th century.

Through centuries, the Barretts became deeply rooted in Ireland—especially in Connacht and County Mayo—emerging as one of the notable “Old English” families who fully adopted Irish traditions and identity. This evolution led to Gaelicised forms such as Mac Baróid, meaning “son of Baróid,” and the modern Irish Bairéad.

The Barrett coat of arms is marked by striking red and white horizontal stripes known as bars. The red (gules) symbolizes courage, strength, and a readiness to defend one’s kin, while the white or silver (argent) denotes peace, sincerity, and honorable intentions. Together, these colors represent a harmonious blend of valor and integrity. The motto "Honor, Virtus, Probitas" translates from Latin as "Honor, Virtue, and Integrity."
