About the name
Bracha is Hebrew berakhah, a blessing — and the root b-r-kh is shared with Arabic baraka, so this name and Baraka are the same Semitic word arriving from two directions. The related berekh means knee, and the blessing sense probably comes from kneeling.
It is standard in observant Jewish communities and ordinary in Israel. The opening ch is the guttural one, which English speakers reliably soften. It has no US ranking.
Brachi is the affectionate Israeli form. Two syllables want two or three (Bracha Noa, Bracha Tova). On our vibe map it is Heirloom with Modern Minimalist plainness.
