Different words, Sorry you are wrong.
The etymology of the English name Barack traces back both to the Hebrew name Barak (meaning lightning) and the Arabic name Baarek (meaning blessed). As a result, its meaning is wholly dependent on the person choosing the name (i.e. which name was he trying to choose), rather than the name extrinsic of a person.
Barack has no meaning in Hebrew, but it's related to the Hebrew name Baruch (ברוך) which means "blessed."
There is also an unrelated Hebrew word baraq (ברק) which means "lightning," but this word is not related to barack.
The word Barack, which exists in Hebrew as well as in Arabic (there is no "Muslim language), means blessed.
Baraq means lightning, but that is not related to the name "Barack". "Barack" is related to the Hebrew word Baruch, meaning Blessed.Obama has no meaning in Hebrew.
The Hebrew equivalent of Barack is Baruch (ברוך), which means "blessed". Coincidently, the name Barack sounds the same as the Hebrew name Baraq (ברק), which means ligntning, but the two names are not related.
if by jewish, you mean hebrew, there are many names that are similar Arabic: Barack Hebrew: Baruch (blessing) Arabic: Malik Hebrew: Melech (king)
No. Barack is a middle-eastern name (there are similar names in Hebrew and Arabic) that means Blessed. Obama is a family name from his father, who was from Africa.
His name comes from the Hebrew. In Hebrew there is a word Baraq (ברק) (which means lightning), but it is not related to the president's name. Barack is related to the Hebrew word Barukh (ברוך) which means blessed.

Thunder.
Barack Obama's name has no meaning in Hebrew. But his first name is related to the Hebrew name Baruch (ברוך), which means "blessed."Answer:Barack is completely unrelated to "baruch;" they are different Hebrew roots. It is, however, (phonetically) identical to the Hebrew "barak," meaning Lightning.
It would be the same as in English.
Barack in Hebrew would be "Baruch" (note: the ch is NOT pronounced like 'choose'; rather, it is pronounced almost like a kh, as if you are clearing your throat; it is a sound we do not have in English, and it is often printed in English as just an H, like in 'Hanukkah'). As has been noted elsewhere, the name comes from the Arabic word for "blessed." In fact, both Baruch and Barack mean "blessed."
If you meant Barack (as in Obama) It means 'blessed'
