Barak
Deborah's military leader
Barak is a Hebrew name meaning "lightning," borne by a military commander in the biblical Book of Judges who defeated the Canaanite army alongside the prophetess Deborah.
The name gained wider recognition through Barack Obama, the 44th U.S. president, though his name derives from the Arabic cognate meaning "blessed."
