Meaning & origin

Tarance is an exceptionally rare name in U.S. records. First recorded in 1966, it has never appeared in the national top 1000, with a peak year of 1980. Its trajectory has remained stable at extremely low frequencies. The name does not show any geographic concentration in top states. Given its scarcity, Tarance is likely a creative respelling of the more common Terence or Terrance, names that have seen moderate usage over the 20th century. For parents seeking a distinctive name with a familiar sound, Tarance offers a rare choice.

Tarance is a rare given name with an unclear origin. It may be a variant spelling of Terence, which derives from the Roman family name Terentius. The name has been used sporadically in the United States since the mid-20th century, but has never achieved widespread popularity.
