Sea of the sun or bright sea
A modern Spanish-language compound name likely blending the Arabic-origin name Yara, meaning small butterfly or friend, with the Spanish word 'mar', meaning sea. In some Caribbean contexts, it is interpreted as 'sea of the sun' or 'shining sea'. It is particularly popular in Puerto Rico and among Hispanic communities.
