Naarah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Naarah

What is the meaning of the name Naarah ?

The baby name Naarah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced nah-AH-rah (commonly NAH-rah).

Naarah is Hebrew in Origin.

Naarah derives from Hebrew na'arah, meaning "young woman" or "maiden," and appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of Ashhur’s wife, mother to several sons (1 Chronicles 4:5–6). The underlying noun is common in biblical Hebrew, so the given name carries connotations of youthfulness and vitality. In English transliteration, the double a often indicates the glottal stop between vowels in Hebrew, yielding a three-syllable pronunciation nah-AH-rah, though many shorten it to NAH-rah.

Usage has been rare in the English-speaking world but persists in Jewish and some Christian circles, and sees occasional modern revival alongside other understated biblical names. Variants and spellings include Naara, Na'arah, and Naara(h); Nara sometimes serves as a streamlined nickname. Related place-name forms such as Naarath appear in biblical geography but are distinct. The name’s blend of scriptural roots and graceful sound makes it a distinctive, meaningful choice.
