Meaning & origin
Flara is a rare and unusual name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1905, with its highest usage occurring in 1906 when it reached its peak year.

The name's trajectory has been stable at a near-zero frequency, and it has not been associated with any top states or notable bearers.
