原文: Cara is the name of my youngest daughter, Cara Laraissa (born 1986).Her mother has Italian roots and liked to have a soundfull name for her.In 1995 I invented a script programing language named CARA (-C-reate -A-ny -R-DBMS -A-pplication = CARA), thinking "what Mr. Carl Benz could do, I can do as well...... he named his make of car after his daughter Mercedes...In the late 90's I saw an internet page "all about Cara" made by a young girl (guess her first name). She had a very big list of organizations and abbreviations and meanings of "Cara". Unfortunately I can not find it any more. But perhaps this is a good place to gather them all again.

翻译文: 卡拉·威廉姆斯(出生Bernice Kamiat)是一个退休的美国女演员。
原文: Cara Williams (born Bernice Kamiat) is a retired American actress.
原文: My name is Cara-Mary and I love my name. I go by Cara, I found it easier that way. I pronounce my name Kah-rah and I often tell people like a Car, as I motion a steering wheel. Helps people remember. I have only met one other Cara that spells and pronounces it the same! A magical day, haha. Other Cara's that I have met have pronounced it care-uh and they are lovely. We usually laugh and share that I get care-a and she gets car-a all the time. My father was born and raised in southern Ireland and met my Mom in London while acting. They had my older brother in London and then had me in... America, haha random. They named me Cara after the opera "I Puritani" a song called "A te, o Cara". I am blessed to be a Cara and I think all versions of the name are beautiful and unique in their own way.
原文: My parents came across my name when reading CARA at the Indy 500 (a car race). There's a racing association with the abbreviation CARA. At the race one year I got earrings with CARA on it and a checkered flag.

翻译文: Cara Delevingne(出生于1992年)是英国时装模特,女演员和歌手。
原文: Cara Delevingne (born 1992) is an English fashion model, actress, and singer.
原文: My name is Cara and it is most definitely an Irish name, not an English name! That's why my parents named me Cara, because of its Irish meaning of Friend. I love my name because of its meaning and because of how unique it is. When I was little I hated my name because I knew nobody with the same name as me but now as I'm older I absolutely love it. I pronounce it CA-RAH.

翻译文: 这是一个很好的名字,但我发现它有点'太快',有些原因。
原文: It's a nice name, but I find it a bit 'over too quickly' for some reason.
原文: My first name is Cara. I pronounce it CAR-RUH. My second name is Florence meaning that my two names together mean Beloved Flower, which I think is really pretty. My dad chose my first name and my middle name is passed down through the family :)
原文: My name is Cara. While I like the name, it can get annoying having to correct people on the pronunciation. I didn't have a problem with this until I was ten. Then suddenly everyone was saying 'CAR-uh' instead of 'CARE-uh'. To make matters worse, people seemed to start thinking it was supposed to be 'Carol' or 'Karen' or 'Carla' or some other vaguely similar name. Then the spelling issues came up and it's gotten to the point where I spell my name every time someone asks for it just to deal with that issue right away. Once I was told by some fool that I was actually spelling my own name wrong and it should be a K not a C. I'm ambivalent about the lack of nicknames associated with it. On the one hand, I'm not really at risk of anyone insisting on using a name I don't care for. On the other, I like the idea of being able to use a nickname that is based on a given name if/when said given name doesn't fit well anymore. That way the name my parents gave me would be in use in some fashion and not just on legal documents. Anyway, I'm not saying all this to dissuade anyone from giving their child this name. I think it's a nice, fairly uncommon name (I've met maybe three or four people with this name in almost twenty-four years of living) with some lovely meanings, but it's always good to know that even simple, four-letter names like Cara can cause difficulties down the road. For me, it's more a lesson in not worrying about your child's name problems in that way because even the simple names that seem safe enough can have issues. If you enjoy a name, use it. Simple as that.
原文: The word "Cara" is modern Irish for "Friend". This is a parallel origin for the name, and the main origin in Ireland and other Gaelic / Celtic populations.

翻译文: 我爱这个nome。我不喜欢发音CAR-ra。对我来说听起来很苛刻。我喜欢CARE-ra。
原文: I love this nome. I don't like the pronunciation CAR-ra. To me it sounds harsh. I prefer CARE-ra.
评论人:EmmyT. 评论时间: 2011/11/12
翻译文: 我也看到它拼写卡拉和发音car-uh。我讨厌它。
原文: I have also seen it spelled Carra and pronounced car-uh. I hate it either way.
原文: I feel that for the sake of all, BTN should include the Irish meaning (as well as other valid meanings) of Cara as well. I really like that my name has multiple meanings and I think users shouldn't have to look at the comments to see all of them (some of which are a tad dubious, if you ask me).

原文: Great name and meanings. Why choose the K instead of its intended way with a C. I think the C makes it adorable and very meaningful, that is, all the wonderful meanings this beautiful name has.

翻译文: 这个名字听起来不错,但是,主要是由于Cara在其他语言的各种意思,我更喜欢拼写卡拉。
原文: This name sounds nice, but, mostly due to the various meanings of Cara in other languages, I prefer the spelling Kara.
原文: It seems that Cara was used traditionally by Jews around the Mediterranean basin whose ancestors lived in Spain until the late Middle Ages. This is from "The Jewish Encyclopedia" (1904):"They bear exclusively Spanish given names, as Aleqria, Angel, Angela, Amado, Amada, Bienvenida, Blanco, Cara, Cimfa, Comprado, Consuela, Dolza, Esperanza, Estimada, Estrella, Fermosa, Gracia, Luna, Niña, Palomba, Preciosa, Sol, Ventura, and Zafiro; and such Spanish surnames as Belmonte, Benveniste, Bueno, Calderon, Campos, Cardoso, Castro, Curiel, Delgado, Fonseca, Cordova, Leon, Lima, Mercado, Monzon, Rocamora, Pacheco, Pardo, Pereira, Pinto, Prado, Sousa, Suasso, Toledano, Tarragona, Valencia, and Zaporta."

翻译文: 卡拉也是一个西班牙词,意思是面,名词不是动词。我喜欢这个名字更好拼写卡拉而不是卡拉。
原文: Cara is also a Spanish word that means face, the noun not the verb. I like this name much better spelled Kara rather than Cara.
原文: To the person claiming that the name is NOT Norse, and being so persistent about it- Why not google it for yourself before you make such a bombastic claim. Sure the norse name is not spelled Cara, it´s Kára, and its meaning is "the wild, stormy one". Cara/Kara is the kind of name that is so simple that it's no wonder there are different origins to the name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kára.
原文: To the anonymous person above who claims Cara to be a Norse name having to do Valkyries and swan songs. Just... no! It has nothing to do with that and it's not even close. Cara/Kara is not a Nordic name. If anything it sounds remotely close to the Danish word Kære which means dear (it's something similar in Swedish and Norwegian but I don't remember how to spell that). But it's never been a Norse name. It's pretty and I like it - but Norse? No.
原文: Cara is Norse for "song of the swan" or "swan maiden". Cara was one of the Valkyries who took fallen battle heroes to their reward in Valhalla. The phrase "swan song" used to describe someone's last hurrah comes from this. This name is also spelled Kara.

翻译文: 卡拉可以意味着“面对”或“昂贵”的西班牙语。
原文: Cara can mean either "face" or "expensive" in Spanish.
原文: I don't know why you consider someone of Asian descent not to be Asian. I am like the Gosselin kids, born & raised in the U.S. with one or more Asian parents. And I am proud of it.
原文: To that anonymous user up there who mentioned Jon and Kate plus 8: Neither Cara, nor anyone else in the family, is Asian. For one thing, the kids aren't even all the way Asian, and also were born and so far raised in Pennsylvania. Last time I checked, Pennsylvania is not in Asia. Just saying.

原文: Cara Hunter is the main character in Bruce Coville's book series, the Unicorn Chronicles.
原文: It's my name, and I love it. I used to hate it when I was young because it wasn't common where I live, but now I think it's nice because there are a few people with the name but it's not over-popular. and I pronounce it KAHR-a.
原文: This is a great name. I prefer the pronunciation of "CAR-rah". It makes it sound sexier and more interesting to me. Makes the whole name more different and unique. I know a little girl with this name and she is so lovely and smart!
原文: My name is Cara and I love it. My dad chose the name, what happened was he decided he had met a lot of nice people called Caroline, Carol, Carolyn etc. and when he couldn't decide he called me Cara. I love my name because it's quite uncommon also it can't be shortened, hehehe.

翻译文: 我认为发音KAHR-a比KER-a听起来更为幽默,听起来更温馨。
原文: I think that the pronunciation KAHR-a sounds spicier than the KER-a, which sounds more homey.
原文: In many Romance languages "cara" means both "dear" and "expensive", due to the thought that if you spend a lot on something, you will want to keep it close/dear to you.
原文: And then there's the Scottish Gaelic, "Caraid" (KAR-aj) ("friend"), which is a variant of the Irish Gaelic Cara.Yes, I think that we know the obvious Italian "Cara": "darling, beloved". I pronounce it either way, but I prefer "KAHR-a"
原文: Cara is also a Spanish/Latin female name which means "face," but when a parent gives this name to female child it means "beautiful face." It is pronounced the same as Italian version (Cara Mia!).
