Barazinbar is the Khuzdul name for Redhorn, named Caradhras in Sindarin. During the reign of Durin VI, the dwarves of Khazad-dûm mined beneath Baranzinbar seeking mithril. In doing so, they woke Durin's Bane.
It was also called Baraz meaning "Red".
From the elements baraz "red" and -inbar (individually perhaps *nibar) meaning "horn".
