What Al-Ba'ith means
Al-Ba'ith means the Resurrector, who will bring all people back to life from their graves for the Day of Judgement (22:7). He also sent messengers to guide people. Waking up each morning after sleep is a small sign of the resurrection.

In the Qur'an
The name itself is not in the Qur'an as a name, but its meaning is, as in this verse.
وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌۭ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًۭا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓا۟ ۚ أَحْصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ
Al-Ba'ith is from the hadith list; the Qur'an uses its verb: 'Allah will raise up those in the graves' (22:7).
Living by this name
Live each day as someone who will meet Allah. When you wake up, say: 'Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur', Praise be to Allah who gave us life after He made us die (sleep), and to Him is the return (Bukhari).
