Karras is a Greek-derived surname-style name, likely from a family-name tradition rather than from a single fixed given-name meaning. That gives it a sturdy, inherited quality, as if it arrived through lineage and local history rather than literary fashion.
The sound is brief, firm, and memorable. As a given name, Karras has the kind of surname strength that feels contemporary and slightly formal. It sounds grounded, masculine, and direct, with a clipped ending that gives it finality.
Because its precise derivation is less important than its family-name atmosphere, Karras feels versatile and dignified. It is rare, but it has the confidence of a name shaped by tradition.
