Barazinbar
From Tolkien Gateway
Barazinbar is the Khuzdul name for Redhorn[1], 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.[2]
It was also called Baraz meaning "Red".
Etymology
From the elements baraz "red" and -inbar (individually perhaps *nibar[3]) meaning "horn".
