Mubarak (Arabic: مبارك‎, translit. mubÄrak‎) is an Arabic given name. A variant form is Baraka or Barack (Arabic: بارك‎, translit. bÄrak‎), analogous to the Hebrew name Barak— ברךּ‎— meaning "knee" or "kneeling" derived from common Semitic roots for the concept of kneeling in praise/to receive a blessing.
