History & Origin
Karra is a spelling variant of Kara, itself from the Italian-Latin 'cara' ('dear, beloved'), with a K and a doubled 'r' for a firmer look. It shares its sound with the Irish Ciara as well.
The spelling stayed uncommon across the later twentieth century, touching a faint peak in the late nineteen-eighties and appearing sporadically since. A Karra today is likely Gen-X or Millennial; the plainer Kara remains the far more common form.
