The Spanish word 'barrito' comes directly from the Latin word 'barritus', which meant 'the trumpeting sound of an elephant'. This word has maintained its exact meaning as it passed from Latin into Spanish, continuing to refer specifically to the distinctive trumpeting call that elephants make.

While 'barrito' is a relatively specialized word, it doesn't have many common related words in Spanish. However, you might occasionally encounter the verb 'barritar', which means 'to trumpet' (specifically for elephants).

While there aren't any common English words directly related to 'barrito', English speakers might find it interesting that the word 'baritone' (though from a different etymology - Greek 'barytonos') has a similar sound and also relates to sound production, referring to a deep, rich male singing voice. This coincidental similarity might help English speakers remember that 'barrito' relates to the deep sound made by elephants.
