Tarra-Lynn is English in Origin.

Tarra-Lynn combines two familiar elements of English naming. Tarra is a modern respelling of Tara, which draws either on Irish Teamhair (the Hill of Tara, meaning "eminence/high place") or on Sanskrit Tara ("star," also the name of a Buddhist/Hindu goddess). Lynn comes from Welsh llyn, "lake, pool," and became a popular given name and suffix in North America.

As a hyphenated compound, Tarra-Lynn reflects late-20th-century trends in the U.S. and Canada for double names and -lynn formations; the double-r spelling peaked in the 1970s-80s as a distinctive twist. The blended meaning is often read as "star by the lake" (Sanskrit + Welsh) or "high-place lake" (Irish + Welsh). Variants include Tara-Lynn, Tara Lynn, Tarra Lynn, Tarra-Lyn, Tarra Lynne, Tara-Lynne, Taralyn, and Taralynn. Related names: Tara, Lynne, and the non-equivalent Taryn. Usage today is uncommon but recognizable, with hyphenation varying by family preference.
