Cara

• I had a friend at school called Cara. I just think it sounds lovely.
• a strong first letter, and a beautiful meaning "my love"
• Cara Rose: could any thing be more beautiful than a name meaning "beautiful rose"?  The girl I know who has this name is just as wonderful as her name, in personality & looks.

The name Cara has a couple of different origins. It can be Latin or Italian meaning "dear." It is also the Irish Gaelic word for "friend." It's been in use as a name in English since the 19th century.
