Jara is a trendy little moniker for baby girls with roots in many languages. It's a favorite among Swiss and Finnish speakers, thanks to its mighty meaning, "helmeted warrior." It draws inspiration from the German legend of Yaroslav the Wise, also known as Jarisleifr. Over half of Switzerland speaks German, so it's no wonder Jara is a popular choice. It's also a Slavic name meaning "spring" and a rare Spanish name meaning "rock-rose." Perhaps baby will make the garden their battlefield, sowing seeds of peace and scattering petals of harmony!
