Combara is in Origin.

Combara is a rare, place-derived given name most closely associated with the rural locality of Combara in north‑western New South Wales, Australia. The toponym is widely thought to reflect an Aboriginal language of the region - often identified as Gamilaraay/Kamilaroi - though a single, authoritative gloss has not been published. As with many Gamilaraay place names, it likely referred to a notable landscape or water feature, but its precise meaning remains uncertain. Pronounced kohm-BAH-rah, the name’s rhythm and open vowels give it a warm, melodic character.

As a personal name, Combara has seen very limited use in Australia and, occasionally, New Zealand from the late 20th century onward, typically chosen to honor place, heritage, or the Australian landscape. It is used for all genders. Spelling variants and near-forms include Combarra, Kambara, and Kombara; informal nicknames may include Barra or Ari. No widely established saint’s day or literary tradition is attached to the name.
