Etymology

Barad is a family name used by some people and families. In languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, the word barad once meant 'hail' or 'cold', so a helpful way to remember Barad is to imagine an ancestor from a place with cold storms; today Barad is simply a surname passed down in families.
