Tarra-Ann blends Tarra - a modern variant spelling of Tara - with the classic middle-name Ann. Tara traces to multiple sources: Irish Teamhair (Hill of Tara), seat of the High Kings, yielding the sense “elevated place” or “royal hill”; and Sanskrit/Hindi Tārā, “star,” also the name of a revered goddess. Ann comes from Hebrew Hannah, “grace” or “favor.” Together, Tarra-Ann carries layered meanings such as “star of grace” or “grace from the royal hill.”

Hyphenated compounds like Tarra-Ann have flourished in English-speaking countries since the mid–20th century, echoing earlier double names (e.g., Mary-Ann). The Tarra spelling emerged as a 20th-century stylistic variant during Tara’s surge in popularity, especially in the 1960s–70s. Variant forms include Tara-Ann, Tarrah-Ann, Tarra-Anne, Tara-Anne, and unhyphenated or spaced versions like Tarra Ann. Common short forms are Tara/Tarra and Annie. The name suits families honoring Irish heritage, South Asian symbolism, or a graceful modern twist.
