Lara
Latin origin
“Derived from the Latin 'Lar,' meaning 'household god' or 'spirit,' Lara carries ancient roots in Roman mythology where Lares were protective deities of the home. The name gained modern popularity through literature and film, becoming synonymous with intelligence and independence, particularly after the character Lara Croft. Its brevity and elegance make it both timeless and contemporary.”
