Burak is of Turkish origin and means 'storm'. It is derived from the Turkish word 'burak', which refers to an onager, a species of wild ass known for its strength and endurance. The name Burak has been popular among Turks for centuries, with notable figures such as Burak Öztürk, a famous Turkish footballer, and Burak Deniz, a prominent Turkish singer and actor, carrying this name.
"Burak was quite popular as a baby name between 1985 and 2023, with peaks in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it seems to have lost some of its charm recently."
