What is the meaning of the name Nefertara ?

Nefertara is Egyptian in Origin.

Nefertara is a modern, Egyptian-inspired feminine name, most likely a creative variant of Nefertari. It traces back to the Ancient Egyptian root nfr “nefer,” meaning “beautiful, good, perfect,” plus the feminine -t and a second element interpreted as “companion/consort.” Accordingly, the associated sense is “beautiful companion” or, more loosely, “the most beautiful.” Because of its -ra ending, some modern bearers read it as invoking Ra, the sun god, though that link is folk‑etymology rather than the classical form.

The name’s cultural resonance comes from queens Ahmose‑Nefertari and Nefertari, Great Royal Wife of Ramesses II, which fueled Egyptomania and modern revivals. Nefertara itself surfaces in English‑language use in the late 20th century and remains rare. Variants and related forms include Nefertari (standard), Nofretari (Germanic transliteration), Nefertare, and Anglicized elaborations like Nefertarah; short forms such as Nefer or Tara sometimes appear.
