Noble or ornament
Arra is a rare name with multiple potential etymological roots. In some contexts, it is considered a variation of the Arabic name Ara, meaning 'ornament' or 'decoration,' while in others, it is linked to the Germanic root 'adal,' meaning 'noble.' Its brevity and vowel-heavy sound align it with modern naming trends despite its rarity.
