Tarana

Meaning of Tarana

Tarana, pronounced tuh-RAH-nuh (/təˈrɑnə/), derives from the Persian word tarāneh (ترانه), meaning “melody” or “song.” It carries a subtle musical elegance, like a gentle refrain woven into classical poetry and traditional compositions. Though Tarana surfaced only briefly in the United States—registering between ranks 748 and 769 from 1975 to 1978—it retains an off-beat charm that appeals to those seeking a name with artistic resonance and cultural depth. Its analytical allure lies in the harmony of sound and significance, offering both a nod to Persian heritage and a quietly distinctive presence among female names.
