Meaning & origin
Larra is a rare and modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1967, a time when creative and phonetic name coinages were becoming more common. The name saw its highest usage in 1977, its peak year, but it has never achieved widespread popularity. Its trajectory remains stable, neither growing nor declining sharply, suggesting it is a consistent but seldom-chosen option. The name's rarity means it offers a high degree of individuality for a child, though its lack of a clear etymology may be a consideration for families seeking a name with deep historical roots. Because its top state usage data is not available, Larra appears to be scattered across the country without regional concentration.
Larra is a modern coinage of uncertain derivation, first recorded in the United States in 1967. It may have been inspired by names such as Lara, a short form of Larissa, or by the phonetic appeal of the Lar- sound combined with a feminine -a ending. The name has remained rare, with its peak usage occurring in 1977, and has not shown a clear pattern of growth or decline.
