the actual meaning (me being from ireland) is that tara is a mountian in ireland that was protected because it was seemed that the gods lived there
and no one but the gaurds and kings/queens were alowed there
I like this meaning

Hmmm... I think I like the idea of being named after some legendary mountain better then hearing things like " Cragy hillside? And somewhere I remember seeing that a tara was a measurment. I definatley like the mythical mountain meaning better!
I still like this name

This is my name, and I still love it. I'd really rather be a tower than a craggy hillside.
But I think Tara is also a plantation in Gone With the Wind...
