The president's first name, Barack, is a Swahili name that has its origins in Arabic. The original Arabic root of the name (B-R-K) means
"blessed." In Arabic, the root word is used in many other phrases to denote blessings and to describe people who are blessed:
The prefix O- means "he,"
"Obama" is a name from the Luo ethnic group of southwestern Kenya, where Barack Obama, Sr. was born.
It is based on the Luo (technically, Dholuo, the name of the language of the Luo) word bam, which means "crooked, slightly bending."
So barak obama=blessed he who is crooked
thought you could use a laugh but the irony is undeniable.
