Well. my friend's last name is BERAK. and he's from Russia, as far as we know.. all his family is native from Russia, maybe his family changed his family name, just as my family did... the original last name of my family was FRANCESCHI.

Berak is a common Jewish surname, so it transcends any one country's heritage. It shows up in 19th C passenger records from Germany, Bohemia and Russia.
Farr also has many ethnic origins, including Lebanese, Russian, English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, French and German.
It's very common that similar sounding names developed independently of each other all over the world. Just think of the names Le, Lee, Li and Ly...all pronounced LEE in their native tongues, but clearly having different origins and different meanings. The idea of "last names" or "surnames" isn't really all that old and was still being worked out after Europeans started settling in North America (just check out French Canadian surnames and dit names and you'll understand).

Farr is a lineage I have done some research on. Below is a website. Also, there is a DNA study, website shown also.
Someone else has answered the BERAK part of the question, if they are correct, you should be able to verify that easily on the WWW. Check with the LDS web site,

I'm absolutely sure that Berak has no Russian roots.
Farr may stem close to German "fahren" which states for "ride" or "drive", but here I am not so sure.

Well Berack is a shortened form of Beratback, changed in the mid 20th century... yo know? Like, "I'll be right back!" Then it got shortened to "be rat back" and finally just "Berack"... you need to listen to more rap music.
I'm pretty sure that Farr is still a long, long way to run... or even to walk, depending on the distance, of course.
Well, i hope that helped you out!
