https://www.behindthename.com/name/istrak/submittedApparently it's an ancient Aramaic name.
Can't say I like it, sorry. All I see is "I struck".

lmao it was submitted anonymously today, for all we know, the OP submitted it and then came to post about it. It is used in the book mentioned in the submission, but that's all I've found out about it so far.
(The name was submitted at 2:26 and OP posted at 2:32-- haha I'm voting the OP is M. Kenan trying to promote his books. The first book, BTW, is not notable enough to even mention in a name description-- 9 reviews on Goodreads. Hahaha).

There’s no info on the origin of this name. Is it completely made up?

I'm not sure. I've never had much luck looking up the Aramaic names in the database to be honest. The book its from was supposedly originally written in Hebrew, and reviews claim it's well-researched, so it might be a real name.
