Barak is a boy's name of Hebrew and Arabic origin, sure to command the attention of all who hear it. As a variant of Barakat, Barak means "blessings" and showers wishes of good fortune on your little one. Strong in its pronunciation, Barak also stems from the Hebrew root b-r-q, which means "lightning." Charged with a thunderous force, Barak is rooted in the biblical military leader who led the Israelites in the great Battle of Mount Tabor.
