Narah
Pronounced NAR-uh /หnษษน.ษ/High
Meaning: A modern spelling with no single documented route. It echoes Nara - a Japanese city and a name used in several languages - and Norah, the Irish short form of Honora, 'honour.' Those are echoes rather than descent.Low

History & Origin
Narah has no firmly recorded etymology. It echoes Nara, the name of Japan's ancient capital and a name used in several unrelated languages, and Norah, the Irish short form of Honora, from Latin honor. Neither is documented as its source, and a sound-alike is an echo rather than a route. We therefore present Narah honestly as a short modern spelling whose origins are uncertain (said 'NAR-uh').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, short, and newly emerging.
