Name meaning and origin
Barat comes from the Arabic root bəraət (freedom from sin or debt, purification) and means official document, certificate of release; as a personal name, though, it is mainly taken to mean full moon. The word entered Azerbaijani through the Ottoman-Persian administrative tradition.
In Turkic culture, the 15th night of the month of Sha'ban is connected with the name Berat night, known as the night of acquittal and forgiveness, and this is a widespread calendar tradition. In Azerbaijan, Barat is today used as an independent masculine name with a simple meaning, and there is no religious obstacle to bearing it.
