Ibtisam Barakat: Hello. My name is Ibtisam Barakat, pronounced just like it is spelled. My first name, Ibtisam, has seven letters. I-B, ib, T-I, ti as in a cup of tea, S-A-M, sam as in Uncle Sam or Sam-I-am. Ib-ti-sam, Ibtisam. Now my last name, which is Barakat. It too has seven letters. B-A, ba, R-A, ra, K-A-T, kat. Barakat, as though a bear and a cat live side by side in my name. The meaning of Ibtisam in Arabic is "smiling", and the meaning of Barakat is "blessings", so together they are smiling blessings.
