From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Barak
     lightning, the son of Abinoam (Judg. 4:6). At the summons of
     Deborah he made war against Jabin. She accompanied him into the
     battle, and gave the signal for the little army to make the
     attack; in which the host of Jabin was completely routed. The
     battle was fought (Judg. 4:16) in the plain of Jezreel (q.v.).


     This deliverance of Israel is commemorated in Judg. 5. Barak's
     faith is commended (Heb. 11:32). "The character of Barak, though
     pious, does not seem to have been heroic. Like Gideon, and in a
     sense Samson, he is an illustration of the words in Heb. 11:34,
     'Out of weakness were made strong.'" (See {DEBORAH}.)
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Barak, thunder, or in vain
