Carra

Carra is a proper noun used to refer to several different subjects. It is encountered as a surname in Italian-speaking regions and among communities descended from Italy. The name appears in varied forms and may be related to longer Italian surnames such as Carraro or Carrera, though in many cases it stands alone as Carra. The distribution of the surname spans Europe, the Americas, and other regions through migration and diaspora communities. People bearing the name have been active in fields ranging from arts and sciences to sports and business.

Carra also appears as a geographic name in various countries, used for towns, districts, or natural features. In many cases these instances are small localities without wide recognition, but the name is found in multiple linguistic areas, including Romance-language-speaking regions and areas with historical Italian influence.

In popular culture, "Carra" is used as a nickname, notably in English football, where it has been applied to players with the surname Carragher, such as Jamie Carragher, and more broadly as a familiar short form for people named Carragher or similarly spelled surnames. The term can also appear in media, literature, or organization names without implying a single dominant reference.
