Burac is Arabic in Origin.

Burac is a rare modern spelling of the Turkish masculine name Burak, which ultimately stems from Arabic al‑Burāq, “the shining, lightning,” from the Semitic root b‑r‑q “to flash, gleam.” In Islamic tradition, al‑Burāq is the luminous steed that carries the Prophet during the Night Journey, so the name conveys ideas of radiance, speed, and protection.

Used as a given name chiefly across Turkey and Turkish‑speaking or Muslim Balkan communities, the common form Burak rose in the 20th century and remains widespread; Burac appears sporadically in diaspora contexts where c may substitute for k. Related spellings include Burak (standard Turkish), Buraq/Boraq and Baraq (Arabic transliterations), and the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian surnames Burać/Burač occur independently. Meaning centers on “lightning; shining one.” The name is almost exclusively masculine and has no established feminine counterpart.
