yes, it means blessed in Swahili
CORRECTION: First, Barack is an Arabic or Hebrew word, not Swahili. Its Swahili form, from Arabic, is baraka. Second, baraka is a noun meaning blessing. Blessed is a past participle of the verb to bless; the Swahili word with the meaning to bless is kubarki and to be blessed is kubarikiwa.
barak (ברק) means lightning.[Note: the President's name is not related to this word. It is related to the Hebrew word Barukh (ברוך) which means blessed.]
Well, darling, "Barack" means "blessed" in Swahili. So, basically, every time someone says Barack Obama's name, they're basically saying "blessed Obama." Now, isn't that a fun fact to impress your friends with at your next cocktail party?
The infinitive is kubariki. (The name of the President of the United States, Barack, or baraka in Swahili, is a noun from the same root, meaning blessing). Mungu ibariki Afrika: God bless Africa, is the first line of Tanzania's national anthem, which is the same as South Africa's (Ngosi sikelele Afrika).The passive infinitive is kubarikiwa. So nimebarikiwa (I have been blessed) amebarikiwa (he or she has been blessed), tumebarikiwa (we have been blessed), wamebariiwa (they have been blessed), umebarikiwa(you sing. have been blessed), mmebarikiwa (you pl. have been blessed), mtu mbarikiwa.(a blessed person).
Blessed one in Swahili is "mbarikiwa."
Baraka, both singular and plural.
Some sources say the name comes from the Hawaiian word meaning "calm, peaceful." Others say it may derive from the Swahili word for "queen." Since Barack and Michelle Obama do not speak Swahili, whereas Barack did come from Hawaii, the first meaning is more likely.
Barack is an African name meaning “blessed.” It is a form of both the Hebrew name Baruch (ברוך) and the Arabic name Mubarak (مبارك).The Aramaic word for Blessed is mevarach (מברך).
Blessed is what Barack means. Barack's father, Barack Obama Sr. was from Kenya. Kenyans speak Swahili. From what I learned on the Swahili baby name website search, Barack means "BLESSINGS". Sorry I couldn't find anything on the meaning of the surname "Obama".
