Etymology
Disputed. Possibly by assimilation from Hebrew בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא (barúkh habá, “blessed (be) who comes”), a collocation occurring in Psalm 118:26 and an interjection meaning “welcome” in Modern Hebrew. An alternative theory holds that the origin is onomatopoeic. In regards to the semantic evolution to “noisy meeting”, compare ramdam, sabbat.
