Etymology
Barbital comes from the chemical name barbituric plus the ending -al, and it belongs to the group called barbiturates. These drugs were named after the acid they came from, and barbital was made to be a 'sedative' to help people 'sleep', which is why the name is used for a sleep-inducing drug.
