The name ''Barack'' means what in Swahili?

Barack is from the Arabic / Hebrew Word meaning blessing (see the names of the former Israeli prime minister and the deposed president of Egypt). The Swahili for President Obama's name is baraka, blessing. His father apparently gave him a name transliterated straight from Arabic, without passing through Swahili.The Swahili for "to bless" is kubariki: Mungu Ibariki Afrika, God Bless Africa, is the name of the Tanzanian national anthem. Amebarikiwa is a passive form meaning "he is blessed."
