Tarah

Tarah is a feminine name that represents a variation of the more common spelling Tara. With Hebrew and Irish roots, the name carries rich cultural significance. In Hebrew, it can relate to 'terah' meaning 'wanderer' or 'station,' while its Irish connection links to the Hill of Tara, a historic and sacred site in Ireland's ancient mythology. The added 'h' gives the name a distinctive quality while maintaining the melodic sound of the original. Tarah saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but remains relatively uncommon. The name evokes images of Ireland's lush landscapes and ancient heritage, making it appealing to parents seeking a name with Celtic connections and a slightly unique spelling.

Pronounced TAR-uh.
