Barack (name)
Barack, also spelled Barak or Baraq, is a given name of Arabic origin. From the Semitic root ''B-R-K'', it means " blessed" and is most commonly used in its feminine form ''Baraka(h)''. The Semitic root is derived from ''B-R-Q'' (; ), meaning "lightning". Some identify similarities to other Hebrew root words. However, given the specific pronunciation of the name "Barrack" and the extensive history of Masoretic linguistics, reference to other roots inevitably result in distinctly different names. In Islamic mysticism, ''Barakah'' () is a concept of spiritual presence or revelation. The Arabic masculine given name Mubarak is the Arabic stem III passive participle, ' (), meaning "blessed (one)". The name is cognate with the Amharic given name ብሩክ ("Biruk").

Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. In Western culture, the idioms "" and "being on first-name terms" refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name.
