Chara

Meaning of Chara

Chara sparkles with Greek roots. It means “joy” as bright as a Mediterranean sunrise. It dances off the tongue—KAHR-uh—in English and shimmers with Latin flair in Spanish-speaking lands. In the US, it’s a rare gem, blessing only a handful of babies each year. That makes it feel like a secret smile shared between old friends. Its sound is as fresh as a mountain spring and as warm as a flamenco dancer’s embrace. If names were candies, Chara would be the piñata bursting with confetti. Evoking playful laughter and guided by a star in the night sky, Chara is a burst of sunshine ready to light up every day.
