Avara is English in Origin.

Avara is a modern given name, most plausibly an elaboration of Ava with the lyrical -ra ending. Through Ava it inherits layered associations: in Persian, Ava means 'voice, sound,' while the medieval Germanic name Ava has uncertain roots, sometimes linked to the idea of 'desired' or to Latin avis 'bird.' The sequence also coincides with Finnish avara, 'spacious, open,' a meaning some parents embrace, though the Finnish word is not traditionally used as a personal name. In Sanskrit/Pali, avara denotes 'later, younger; western,' a lexical match rather than a typical naming source.

Usage is contemporary and rare, appearing in late-20th- and early-21st-century records across English-speaking countries. Nicknames include Ava and Ara. Variant spellings and near-forms include Avarah, Avarra, and Avora; related choices are Ava and Vara.
