Atara is Hebrew in Origin.
Atara is a Hebrew feminine name from עֲטָרָה (‘atarah), meaning “crown,” “wreath,” or “garland,” built on the Semitic root ‘-ṭ-r “to encircle, to adorn.” It appears in the Hebrew Bible (1 Chronicles 2:26) as Atarah, a wife of Jerahmeel, giving the name an ancient pedigree; in Jewish practice the atarah is also the decorative neckband of a prayer shawl. The name evokes honor, joy, and triumph - associations of the crown in biblical poetry.
Usage revived in the 20th century with the rise of modern Hebrew, and Atara now sees steady use in Israel and the Jewish diaspora, sometimes chosen for girls born near festive occasions. Variants and related forms include Atarah (biblical spelling) and Ateret in Hebrew; meaning-equivalent counterparts are Stephanie/Stefania and Corona, all signifying “crown.” Pronounced ah-TAH-rah.
