Chara

Chara is a feminine name that will inspire your little one to find contentment in themselves and be a source of it for others. This moniker has several potential origins and meanings, so it's one for a tiny tot with an ever-vibrant and evolving personality. Chara could have Greek roots, arising from the word kharā́, meaning "joy" or "happiness." Perhaps Chara is a variant of Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles. With definitions like "free man" and "army," Charlotte lends Chara the reminder that when one person does a kind deed or speaks up for what's right, the impact of that can be felt by many. The name Cara means "beloved" in Latin, and Chara might be a respelling with a -h added. Cara also holds significance in the Irish language, translating to "friend," so don't be surprised if everyone uses this word to describe sweet Chara.
