The name Lara is thought to mean “sun ray” in Egyptian. This is similar to the Egyptian god Ra, who is the god of the sun and creation. Ra is often depicted as a man with the head of a falcon, and he is associated with the sun disk.
It is possible that the name Lara was inspired by the Egyptian goddess Renenutet or the Egyptian god Ra. However, there is no direct evidence to support this claim.
