Submitted Name Revision History

Frequently used in Sri Lanka as a female given name, a cursory search of social media confirms this fact. Turning to Sanskrit, it looks like the “Sena” part of the name could mean either: "army, missile or dart" with “nara” meaning “human, man”. The soldier, warrior connotations of this meaning for Senara doesn’t sound like an obvious meaning for a girl’s name which is why it is reasonable to surmise that “Sinhala” and “Senara” sounding noticeably similar may account for this name’s isolated popularity in Sri Lanka.
