Temair is Irish, Mongolian in Origin.
Temair is a rare Irish given name taken from Old Irish Temair, the famed place-name of the Hill of Tara (Temair na Rí) in County Meath, seat of Ireland’s High Kings and a locus of early medieval lore and ritual. The etymology is debated: scholars variously connect it to an Indo‑European/Celtic root meaning “eminence, elevated place” or to a sense of “sanctuary,” reflecting the hill’s sacred and political significance. As a given name, Temair evokes heritage, sovereignty, and landscape.
Modern usage is uncommon but has grown with Gaelic revival naming, typically for girls yet viable as unisex. Variant and related forms include Teamhair (Modern Irish spelling of the toponym), Temair (Old Irish), Temhra/Temhrach (archaic/genitival forms), and the widely used Anglicized Tara. The name appeals to families seeking a culturally grounded alternative to Tara with a direct link to Ireland’s legendary kingship site.
Temair is exceptionally rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
