Tarena is an uncommon female given name of Greek origin, derived from the feminine form of the Greek word 'Tarenos', which means 'from Tarentum'. Tarentum was an ancient city in Southern Italy, now known as Taranto. The name Tarena has been used infrequently throughout history and thus does not have a significant amount of historical figures associated with it. Despite its rarity, the name Tarena carries a unique and exotic sound that sets it apart from more common names.
The name Tarena appears to have been popular among parents during the late 1960s and early 1970s, with a peak of 12 births in 1968. However, its popularity declined thereafter, with only one year (1978) seeing more than six births until it started showing signs of recovery from the mid-1990s onwards. Overall, Tarena has been given to 153 children over the years.
