Satara Origin and Meaning

The name Satara is a girl's name meaning "one who covers; seven stars".

A bright, musical name with multiple origins, Satara is a distinctive choice with familiar sounds. It hasn't appeared in the US stats since 2007, making it an appealing possibility for those looking for something rare, that works in multiple languages, and has a celestial feel.

From its Arabic roots, Satara means "one who covers", interpreted as meaning "one who hides the faults of others" or "one who doesn't speak badly of other people". Also spelled as Satarah and Sattaarah, the masculine form is Sattar.

From its Hindi roots, it is connected to a place in India which derived its name from the phrase "Saat Tara", translating to "Seven Stars". This name referred to the seven hillside forts throughout the city, associating the name with both the celestial and with protection.

Another possibility is that Satara might sometimes be used as an English compound name, blending together Sarah and Tara, lending it the combined meaning of "princess of the elevated place".

A notable bearer is footballer Satara Murray.
