English name derived from the vocabulary word tiara, from Latin tiara, originally a headdress worn by Persian kings and other men of rank. Of uncertain origin. But the first element might be related to Sumerian ti, TIARA means "life." And the second element ara, might be related to Ara/Ur, the name of the city of the Chaldees, meaning "light/flame of fire" or "revelation." Hence, possibly "life-light."
