Vara
Meaning of Vara
In onomastic terms, Vara—articulated in English as VAIR-uh (/vər-ə/)—derives from the Sanskrit lexeme vara, which signifies “boon” or “gift of the divine” and thus conveys an etymological association with excellence, choice, and auspicious favour. Although this lexical unit likewise functions in certain Northern European languages as a verb meaning “to be,” its adoption as a feminine personal name remains predominantly anchored in South Asian cultural traditions. Within the United States, data drawn from the Social Security Administration’s annual frequency tables indicates that in 2024 seven newborn girls were designated with the name, yielding a popularity rank of 943—an incidence level that, while modest in quantitative terms, underscores a contemporary preference for succinct and semantically resonant appellations.
