History and Origin
Baruch (Hebrew: בָּרוּךְ, Modern Barukh Tiberian Bārûḵ ; "Blessed") has been a given name among Jews from Biblical times up to the present, on some occasions also used as surname. It is also found, though more rarely, among Christians-particularly among Protestants who use Old Testament names.
Except for its use as a name, this is also related to berakhah or bracha (Hebrew: ברכה; plural ברכות, berakhot), which is a Jewish blessing. See also: Baraka and Barakah.
The root B-R-K meaning "blessing" is also present in other Semitic languages. The most common Arabic form is the passive form Mubarak, but the form Barack is also used.
Benedictus is a Latin name with similar meaning; cf. Baruch Spinoza or Benedictus de Spinoza.
Jewish: biblical name meaning ‘blessed’ in Hebrew (cf. Benedict). It is borne by a character who appears in the Book of Jeremiah.
