What is the meaning of the name Tabaré ?

The baby name Tabaré is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced tah-bah-RAY.

Tabaré is Guarani, Tupi in Origin.

Tabaré is a masculine name from the Tupí-Guaraní lexical sphere rather than a securely attested precolonial personal name. The earliest prominent written form is Tabaré, the title character of Juan Zorrilla de San Martín's 1888 epic poem. It is usually analyzed from taba, village, with a relational or postpositional element -ré indicating separation or location, giving the literal sense one away from the village or man from outside the settlement.

In Uruguay the name’s currency is largely literary and national rather than religious. Zorrilla’s poem made Tabaré a Charrúa youth at the center of a conquest-era tragedy, and the name later appeared among Uruguayans in politics, music, sport, and scholarship; former president Tabaré Vázquez is the best-known bearer internationally. Usage remains concentrated in Uruguay and neighboring River Plate contexts, with the unaccented spelling Tabare appearing where diacritics are dropped.
