hello everyone, when i was younger i would be called a polock constantly i was born and raised in the united states and my last name is Badarak it is an extremely rare last name here in the united states. i signed up here a tad naive about other cultures and im just looking for a few answers since my grandparents dont really have many for me. Do any of you know anyone with the last name Badarak???

No such name as Badarak in today's Poland. The only names even close are:
Badaruk
Badarewicz
Badarowska
Badarska
Badarycz
Badarzewski
Badera
Baderka
Baderko
Possible derivation: baderka (form German Bader) female bath attendant or the verb badurzyć/bajdurzyć (to talk nonsense, spin yards, tell tall tales)

In a folow-up to my previous post, Badar is an Arabic first name. In Polish territory Badarak might have emerged as a patronymic nickname to indicate Badar’s son.
