Tara

Tara is a name of Sanskrit origin that has multiple meanings. It can mean 'star' or refer to a specific star in Hindu mythology. It can also mean 'tree', particularly the sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa) that is revered in Indian culture.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, Tara is also the name of a prominent female deity, known as the Mother of Liberation. She is a Buddhist figure of great importance, especially in Tibet, Nepal, and Mongolia.

The name Tara has been used across various cultures and regions, including Ireland, where it is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Toirreasa.
