Barakath is Arabic in Origin.

Barakath is an Arabic-derived given name and surname, reflecting the plural noun barakāt, from the Semitic triliteral root B‑R‑K “to bless, to increase.” It denotes “blessings, abundance, divine favor.” The term barakāt appears in the Qur’an and devotional formulas (e.g., “the blessings of God”), so the name traditionally conveys a wish for prosperity and grace.

Used since the early Islamic period across the Arab world, it spread widely into Persianate and South Asian Muslim communities, where the -th spelling reflects regional transliteration of the Arabic -t ending (tā’ marbūṭa or construct). The name is found for both genders, though masculine use is common, and it features in compounds such as Barakatullah. Variants and cognates include Barakat/Barakāt, Barakah/Baraka, Barkat/Barkaat (Urdu-Hindi), Bereket (Turkish/Amharic), and related forms like Mubarak and Barack (via Swahili Baraka). Barakat also persists as a notable surname.
