Dara is a name with more than one origin.

The origin most accepted is as a male name meaning "Pearl of Wisdom". However, it is often used in Ireland (and the United States), as either a male or a female given name, and it also occurs as a surname. The spelling varies, with variations including Dara, Daire and Darragh. The Irish form is probably derived from doire, the Irish word for "oak tree", though as a surname it may be a version of the Irish name Mac Dubhdara.

Dara can be found in the Bible's Old Testament book of Chronicles It may mean "wisdom and compassion", although in Modern Hebrew dara is a conjugation of the verb "to live", and in Aramaic it means "pearl", Father-of-pearl" or "marble".

In Cambodian Khmer, Dara is a boy's name meaning "star". In Turkish and in Punjabi, Dara means "leader". In Farsi Dara means "male". In the Kiswahili version Dara means "the beautiful one".
