Boruch origin and meaning
Hebrew and Yiddish
'Blessed' — Boruch is the Yiddish/Ashkenazi form of Hebrew Baruch, 'blessed'
Boruch is how Baruch is said and spelled in Yiddish-speaking Jewish tradition. The biblical Baruch was Jeremiah's scribe and companion, but he is known under the Baruch spelling, so — following the transliteration rule — he is credited here in the note rather than listed as a bearer of this form. American use is small, steady and community-based.
