|     Hi Jan,
    
    Just a guess since I don't have a baby book, but it might be a
    variation on Laura.  I think Lara would be on the list of variations
    as well.  Sorry I can't help with the meaning.

|     IARA is a Brazilian name. It belongs to our Indian Folklore(a dialect
    called Tupiguarani). Iara means "the mother of the waters".
