History & Origin

Tiaira reworks Tiara, the small ceremonial crown, which English took from Latin tiara by way of Greek. The vogue for regal, sparkling word-names in the late twentieth century made Tiara and its many spellings appealing.

This spelling was always rare, appearing mainly in the mid nineteen-nineties before fading. It stands beside Tiara and Tiarra as a period respelling rather than a separate name.

Did you know? Tiaira is one of the more elaborate spellings of Tiara — the little crown — a word carried into English from Greek through Latin.
