タマラ
タマラ is the Japanese way to write the female given name Tamara.
タマラ is the Katakana transcription of the name Tamara.
Meaning: female given name (name)
Did you know?
- If written in Hiragana as たまら, the name would look softer and more 'feminine' to a native reader than the standard Katakana タマラ.
- Because Japanese does not have a 'ra' sound identical to the English 'r', the ラ in タマラ is produced by a light flick of the tongue, similar to a Spanish 'r'.
- Because タマラ is written in Katakana, it is perceived by Japanese readers as a foreign name rather than a native Japanese name.
