Etymology
* As an English surname, from several placenames, such as the one in Gloucestershire, from the Old English personal name Beorn + -ing (“belonging to”) + tūn (“enclosure; settlement, town”). There is also the placename in Somerset of Norman origin, probably named after Barentin in Seine-Maritime, from Medieval Latin Barentinum, Barentini, of pre-Latin origin, perhaps of Celtic/Gaulish origin and identical with Barenton, both names from a Gaulish word related to water. * As an Irish surname, from Ó Bearáin (literally “descendant of Bearán”), see Barnes, Barron.
