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."
