    		Maybe not anyone living. Barack is a Biblical name. It's first mention is in Judges chapter 4, the name of an Israelite chieftain who fought of the forces of Sisera. Today in Israel Barak is a common enough first name. (In Hebrew, it means "lightning".)

    		Obama's father was named Barack.

    Obama's Kenyan birth father: In Islam, religion passes from the father to the child. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) was a Muslim who named his boy Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
