Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Tara má dva nezávislé doložené pôvody. V indickej tradícii vychádza zo sanskrtského tārā, ktoré znamená „hviezda“. V anglofónnom prostredí pochádza aj z írskeho miestneho názvu Teamhair, po anglicky Tara. Výklad tohto miestneho názvu ako „vyvýšené miesto“ nie je istý. Nejde o konkurenčné teórie jedného mena, ale o zhodne zapisované mená odlišného pôvodu; sanskrtský pôvod je tu uvedený ako prvý bez tvrdenia o jeho všeobecnej prevahe.
