History & Origin

Satara is best read as a contemporary coinage joining a Sa- opening to Tara, itself a Sanskrit name meaning star. The same spelling names a district in western India, but American parents seem to have reached for it as a rhythmic, vowel-rich girl name. It carries no single fixed traditional meaning of its own.

Satara was never a common name. It appeared in United States records only in small numbers, given to fewer than twenty girls a year at its brief peak in the late nineteen-eighties.

Did you know? Satara echoes Tara, a Sanskrit name meaning star, dressed up with a soft Sa- beginning.
