Wikipedia
Mubarak (, ) is an Arabic given name. A variant form is Baraka or Barack (, ), analogous to the Hebrew name Barak— ברךּ— meaning "knee" or "kneeling" derived from common Semitic roots for the concept of kneeling in praise/to receive a blessing. Mubarak and Barack are thus the Arabic and Hebrew equivalent in meaning of the Latinate word "Benedict" (from Benedictus (disambiguation) "blessed" or, literally, "well-spoken").
Etymologically, the name is from the consonantal root B-R-K, meaning "knee", and verbally "to prostrate oneself", and hence "to receive blessing". The feminine noun barakah means "blessing". In Islam, and specifically within the Sufi tradition, it has a meaning similar to " charisma". The Hebrew cognate is berakhah.
The Biblical name Baruch is the Hebrew cognate; see Book of Baruch for an instance of the name.
The name is sometimes written differently in different countries; for example, the last name of singer Shakira (a Lebanese- Colombian) is Mebarak.
When an Arabic name is used in other languages, the patronymic is often rendered as a last name. In other contexts, Mubarak is a proper last name (e.g., cricket player Jehan Mubarak).
Mubarak most commonly refers to Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt.
Mubarak may also refer to:
- Mubarak (name), an Arabic given name and surname
- Eid Mubarak, a traditional Muslim greeting
- Mubarak port, a controversial port scheduled to be built in Kuwait
- Mubarak, Iran (disambiguation)
