Meaning
Al-Baith (الْبَاعِثُ) means The Resurrector. It is name 49 in the well-known list of the 99 Names of Allah. Al-Bāʿith raises the dead from their graves, and sent the messengers to people. Belief in the resurrection rests on this name.
Al-Baith comes from the Arabic root ب ع ث (b-ʿ-th), which carries the sense of raising up and sending.
The exact name is not in the Quran. Its verb is in 22:7: "Allah will resurrect those in the graves."
وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌۭ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
Wa annas Saa'ata aatiya tul laa raiba feeha wa annal laaha yab'asuman fil quboor
And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allah will resurrect those in the graves.
Quran 22:7. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا مَنۢ بَعَثَنَا مِن مَّرْقَدِنَا ۜ ۗ هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَصَدَقَ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
Qaaloo yaa wailanaa mam ba'asanaa mim marqadinaa; haaza maa wa'adar Rahmanu wa sadaqal mursaloon
They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."
Quran 36:52. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Allah says: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them" (7:180). Begin your dua with يَا بَاعِثُ (Yā Bāʿith) and ask for what fits its meaning. For example: "Yā Bāʿith, raise me among the righteous."
اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ
Allāhumma qinī ʿadhābaka yawma tabʿathu ʿibādak
O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You raise Your servants. (Before sleeping.)

Yes, as Abdul-Baith, "servant of Al-Baith". Names that show servitude to one of Allah's Names are among the best names, as the Prophet ﷺ said of Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman (Sahih Muslim 2132).
