Meaning & origin
Tiarah is a modern English name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1983, part of a wave of jewel and ornament-inspired coinages like Tiara and Precious. Its peak year was 2000, when it reached its highest recorded usage. Since then, Tiarah has been on a falling trajectory, and it does not rank among the top 1,000 names. The name reflects a broader trend in American naming: parents taking familiar words and adding an 'h' or other flourish to create a distinctive spelling. While never extremely common, Tiarah remains a recognizable, feminine choice that shares the sound and style of names like Aaliyah and Maya.
Tiarah is a variant spelling of Tiara, which itself is a modern coinage from the English word tiara, a jeweled ornamental crown. The word tiara is ultimately from Latin tiara and Greek tiara, referring to a type of headdress. As a given name, Tiara emerged in the United States in the 1970s and gained modest popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.
