Karrah is in Origin.
Karrah is a modern English given name, most often understood as a creative respelling of Kara/Cara. Its meanings layer several traditions: from Italian and Late Latin cara “dear, beloved,” from modern Irish Gaelic cara “friend,” and from Old Norse Kára, the name of a valkyrie in saga literature, with an uncertain root sometimes glossed “curly(-haired)” or “stormy.” Some also note the Turkish word kara “black,” though this is more common in surnames and place names than as a direct source for the English given name.
As a spelling, Karrah rose in late 20th-century usage alongside other -ah endings, remaining far rarer than Kara or Cara. It appears in English-speaking countries from the 1980s onward, favored by parents seeking a familiar sound with distinctive form. Variants and related spellings include Kara, Cara, Karra, Carrah, Carah, and Kára; broadened forms include Karina and Carina.
