History & Origin
Karrah is a dressed-up spelling of Kara, whose root is the Italian and Latin cara, 'dear' or 'beloved' β the same word behind the endearment 'cara mia'. The doubled r and final -h are cosmetic, keeping the meaning of the simpler Kara.
It belonged to the wave of inventive spellings that swept American girls' names in the nineteen-eighties and nineties, and always stayed rarer than plain Kara. It reads as a name of that era, warm and simple in sense if elaborate on the page.
