Tipperary
Origin:Irish
Meaning:Well of Ara
A place-inspired baby name with gender-neutral flexibility, Tipperary can be your way of proudly showing off your kiddo's Irish heritage. The name of a town and county in Ireland, Tipperary is the Anglicization of Tiobraid Árann and means "well of Ara." This meaning references the River Ara the town is built beside, and a sacred well that's covered over. Some say Ara may also be the name of an ancient tribe that dwelt in the area. Lovers of the finer things in life may think of the Tipperary cocktail, which is usually made with chartreuse, whiskey, and vermouth and topped with orange zest and a maraschino cherry.
