Actually, it means blessed. You will find it in the Hebrew scriptures corresponding to Numbers 6:24

Blessed is Yehova our God.

The transliteration “baraq” (last letter from Hebrew
qoph rather than
kaph in
barak) specifically refers to
lightning.

Actually, it [Baraq] means blessed. You will find it in the Hebrew scriptures corresponding to Numbers 6:24Baraq (with a qof) means "lightning." The triliteral root for "blessing" has a kaf, not a qof. Unlike qof, kaf becomes spirant at the end of a word or syllable.
And btw, "blessed" is a passive form, which is barukh, not "barak."

“Baruch” means Blessed.
But since the difference is in the vowels, which are not used in Classical Hebrew, it can be pronounced many ways.
