Carah Origin and Meaning

The name Carah is a girl's name.

Carah is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Cara, which derives from the Latin 'carus' meaning 'beloved' or 'dear.' In Irish Gaelic, Cara means 'friend,' while in Italian it translates to 'dear one.' The added 'h' gives the traditional name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its gentle pronunciation. This spelling variation emerged primarily in the late 20th century when alternative spellings became increasingly popular. Though less common than Cara, Kara, or Sarah, Carah maintains the melodic quality and positive meanings of its root name. The name projects warmth and affection while offering slight uniqueness through its spelling. Carah remains relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries, making it distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or recognize in structure.
