Usage notes
The word is sometimes used without a definite article as in English: Irak, in Irak. In this case, the genitive is always Iraks, for example Iraks Hauptstadt – "Iraq's capital".
More commonly, however, the definite article is used with the name: der Irak, im Irak. In this case, the genitive usually is des Irak, although des Iraks is also correct: die Hauptstadt des Irak(s) – "the capital of Iraq".
The plural refers to the Arabian or Arab Iraq and the Persian Iraq.

id:
Etymology
From id nl Irak, from id ar الْعِرَاق Iraq, of uncertain derivation. Medieval Arabic uses ‘Iraq’ as a geographical term for the area in the south and center of the modern Iraq. Some Arabic sources say that Iraq comes from ar عَرِيق deep-rooted, from ar عِرْق root, while others say it is from Middle Persian's id pal ˀl'k' erāg lowlands, due to historic rule from Iraq's plateau-situated neighbor, Persia.

Usage notes
The definite article is optional when referring to Iraq's exonym in Spanish (i.e. el Iraq). In writing, it tends to be preceded by the definite article when spelt with a 'q' and tends to lack the article when spelt with a 'k' although this may vary regionally.
