Meaning & origin

Shatarra is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1983, placing it among the wave of invented names from that era.

The name's trajectory is stable but with very few births each year, and its use is not concentrated in any particular state. Shatarra's lack of clear etymology or historical precedent marks it as a creative, individualistic choice from the late 20th century.
