Tara

Gaelic hill name

Tara is a feminine given name with multiple origins—from Irish meaning "hill" or "rocky place," and from Sanskrit meaning "star." The name gained popularity in the West partly through *Gone with the Wind*, where Tara is the O'Hara family plantation.

In Buddhism, Tara is a female bodhisattva associated with compassion.
