The given name Barak, also spelled Baraq, from the root B-R-Q, is a Hebrew name meaning "lightning". It appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of Barak ({{lang|he|ברק}} {{transl|he|Bārāq}}), an Israelite general. It is also an Arabic name from the root B-R-K with the meaning of "blessed" though it is mostly in its feminine form Baraka(h).

B-R-Q

{{distinguish|B-R-K}}

The Semitic root B-R-Q has the meaning "to shine"; "lightning".[1]{{rp|p.122}}

The biblical name {{lang|he|ברק}} {{transl|he|Bārāq}} is given after Barak, a military commander who appears in the Book of Judges.

The Arabic cognate is {{lang|ar|بَرْق}} {{transl|ar|barq}} (not to be confused with {{lang|ar|بَارَك}} {{transl|ar|bārak}}, which is cognate with Hebrew {{lang|ar|בָּרוּךְ{{popdf}}}} {{transl|ar|bārûch}}). The epithet Barcas of the Punic general Hamilcar is derived from the same root, as is the name of Al-Buraq, the miraculous steed of Islamic Mi'raj tradition.

Although the given name is mostly Jewish and found predominantly in Israel, it has occasionally been used by Anglo-Saxon Protestants in the early modern period, when given names from the Hebrew Bible were in fashion, as in the name of Barak Longmate, an 18th-century English genealogist.
