History & Origin
Shatara is a coined name that sets the productive Sha- prefix in front of Tara, the Irish name from Teamhair — the sacred hill of Tara — and, in another tradition, the Sanskrit word for 'star'. The result reads as a fresh eighties creation with a familiar core.
A girl named Shatara at its 1986 high is now nearing forty. It reads mid-eighties and has not revived. Because it is a coinage its spelling varies, so a family settles the look; the sound is clear, and the embedded Tara gives an easy short form.
