History & Origin

Takarra is a name with two honest readings: an elaboration of the Japanese Takara, 'treasure,' or a modern American coinage joining a Ta- prefix to a -karra ending in the Takira family. The doubled r is a stylistic flourish, and we give both origins rather than force a single one, keeping the Japanese sense in romaji only.

It has always been rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its small peak in the early nineteen-eighties. A woman named Takarra then is now in her forties.

Did you know? One reading of Takarra reaches back to the Japanese word takara, 'treasure' - a lovely meaning for a name that, in the United States, most families simply chose for its rich, rolling sound.
