Barech

Barech is a transliteration variant that appears in discussions of Hebrew language and Jewish tradition. It is related to the Hebrew root B‑R‑K, from which the verb barakh (to bless) and the noun berakhah or berakha (a blessing) are derived. Because transliteration from Hebrew to Latin script varies, the same root is rendered in several forms, including barekh, barech, berakhah, and Baruch.

In Jewish religious usage, words descended from this root occur widely in blessings recited in daily life

As a surname, Barech is found among some Jewish and Middle Eastern diaspora communities. It is sometimes
