Meet baby Taralyn, the little starlight burning brightly in your night sky. This girl's moniker reflects a universal appreciation for the natural world, with roots in Sanskrit, Irish, and Welsh alike. Tara holds a special significance as a Buddhist goddess in India and Nepal, guiding lost souls on the right path like a celestial "star." Taralyn also has a presence in the Celtic world, where Tara appears as teamhair in Irish, referring to the Hills of Tara, a sacred gathering place in ancient Irish civilizations. In Welsh, lakes are known as llyn, and where there are hills, there must be lakes. Wanderlust and curious, Taralyn encapsulates all the charms of exploring the earth, meaning "star," "hill," and "lake" in three different languages.
