Mubarak (name)
Mubarak ( ar, مبارك, mubārak) is an Arabic given name. A variant form is Baraka or Barack ( ar, بارك, bārak), analogous to the Hebrew verb "barakh" , meaning "to kneel, bless", and derived from the concept of kneeling in prayer. The Arabic prefix ''m-'' is a passive participle prefix, meaning "who or which is blessed" (''baraka'').

In the Quran, the olive tree and the 27th of Ramadan are ''mubǎrak''. The Biblical name Baruch is the Hebrew cognate of Barack. There is no specific cognate for Mubarak, which includes ...
