Combarah is in Origin.

Combarah is a rare, modern given name derived from the New South Wales place-name Combarah/Combara, situated near the Barwon River in Gamilaraay (Kamilaroi) Country. The toponym is of Indigenous Australian origin; its precise etymology is not securely recorded in public sources. Given the pattern of -barra/-bara elements in regional languages and the site’s riverine setting, the name is often understood broadly as referencing a watercourse or local fauna, but its exact sense remains uncertain. Variants include Combara (attested as a locality) and the contemporary spellings Combarrah or Combarra.

Usage as a personal name is recent and uncommon, appearing in Australia in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries as a unisex, place-inspired choice, sometimes adopted to honor family ties to Country. In records, Combarah is encountered more as a station, parish, or postal locality name than as a forename.
