Narra Origin and Meaning

The name Narra is a girl's name.

Narra is a distinctive feminine name with several potential origins. In the Philippines, the narra is the national tree, a type of flowering hardwood valued for its beauty and strength, giving the name nature-based significance. In Sanskrit traditions, 'nara' means 'man' or 'human,' and the doubled 'r' may be a variation. The name also appears in some fictional contexts. Narra's brevity (just two syllables, pronounced NAR-rah) gives it a crisp, clear sound that's easily pronounced across languages. The name carries an exotic quality while remaining accessible in pronunciation for English speakers. While uncommon in most Western countries, Narra offers an appealing option for parents seeking a rare name with natural connections and cross-cultural potential, blending simplicity with distinctive character.
