History & Origin
Shetara is a coinage that sets the popular She- opener before Tara, the storied hill of Ireland's high kings, whose name means 'elevated place'. The blend gives an invented name a grounding echo, a habit common in African-American naming of the nineteen-eighties.
Never common, it crested around 1986 and faded within about a decade. A Shetara today would be in her late thirties, and the name remains firmly tied to its moment.
