Baretta is a unisex name with Italian origins. It can be pronounced as bah-REHT-tah (/baˈrɛtːa/) in Italian or buh-RET-uh (/bəˈrɛtə/) in American English. The name may also be spelled as Barretta. Baretta has been used as a given name for both boys and girls, although it is more commonly associated with girls. In the United States, Baretta was somewhat popular in the late 1970s, reaching its peak popularity in 1975 when it ranked at number 2362. The popularity of the name has since declined, but it remains a unique and distinctive choice for parents looking for an Italian-inspired name for their child.
