Barack Obama's name is not Aramaic. Barack is Arabic for blessing, Obama is a Luo (a Kenyan tribe) surname.

His middle name Hussein is Arabic for good or handsome. He said once he'd prefer to have the middle name Steve, which is from the Greek for crown.

When translating personal names into other languages, normally we do not change them. EG Binyamin Netanyahu, Jacques Chirac. Not Benjamin Netanyahu, Jack Chirac.
