Jeez, mine will take forever to explain
1: Most people don't know, but the word Scarab is mispronounced by almost everyone nowadays. When translated from Greek it's always spelled sCArab, in fact you aren't even supposed to pronounce the "s" properly, you form the letter before exhaling air to sound it, giving more of a lead in to the "CA" rather than being an actual letter. Scarab's being the mortal animal embodiment of the egyptian sun god Ra. Now generally I'd actually go with Apollo, but greek myhtology is so commonly misconstrued or misquothed that the connection would probably be made incorrectly
2: Barak is the name of the typical tank pseudo-leader character in David Eddings' novel series' "The Belgariad" and "The Mallereon", two of what are easily my favourite series. When I was writing my own novel, I was trying to name a character who was supposed to be incredibly intelligent and near godlike (as is typical of me, this man was neither the protagonist nor the antagonist and in fact barely affects the plot other than by being baws). Thus is saw him a sort of inverse form of Barak, Karab that is.
3: Karab is kinda how I used to pronounce "Crab" when I was a kid, and being dyslexic, it's also how I generally spelt it. My star sign being Cancer and my father being a fisherman, it seemed suiting.
