Meaning & Origin

a female given name

Taray is a boy's baby name of American origin, a creative phonetic name that may derive from Tara — from the Irish Gaelic teamhair, meaning 'hill, elevated place,' referring to the Hill of Tara, the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland. The -ray ending adds brightness and energy to this historically significant Irish root.

Taray carries the elevated heritage of Ireland's royal hill in a minimal, contemporary form — ancient Irish kingship distilled into something clean and forward-moving.
