Back in the late '70s, Farrah Fawcett's name was as frequently copied as her hairstyle and even made the Top 200 in 1977! Like any trend, however, it promptly fell back out of style, only to re-emerge in the 2010s, in honor of the star's death and possibly thanks to TV personality, Farrah Abraham of Teen Mom too.
 
This would give the impression that Farrah was simply a trendy choice, however, it is in fact an established Arabic name, also transcribed as Farah, meaning "happiness". This was not, however, where the actress's mother got the name from. Originally spelled as Ferrah (and used as her middle name), it was a made up choice, likely inspired by Tara, Cara, and similar, chosen because it sounded good with their surname.
 
Given to 209 girls in a recent year, Farrah has seen a small spike of renewed interest in the US.
