Kara

Kara comes from the Italian word 'carus', meaning 'beloved', giving it an endearing and affectionate feel. In Turkish, however, Kara takes on a more mysterious tone, meaning 'black' or 'dark'. This duality of meanings adds an intriguing depth to the name, blending a sense of warmth and strength with an air of elegance.

In terms of popularity, Kara truly shone in the 1980s. It made its debut in the top 100 in 1984, peaking at #95 that same year. Spanning a remarkable 55 years in the Top 500, Kara enjoyed a consistent presence from 1962 to 2014. Recently, its popularity has waned, with the latest rank at #987 in 2024. Despite these changes, Kara's long-standing appeal is undeniable, having once leaped an impressive 1275 spots between 1936 and 1937.

Kara embodies a classic and elegant style, perfectly balancing a loving and charismatic personality with an underlying strength. It's the kind of name that carries both a timeless charm and a modern sensibility, making it a beautiful choice for those who appreciate names with history and character.
