Tarja is the Finnish short form of Daria — possibly also from the Finnish tarja (hill, fortress). Both Finnish national icons of the same generation. Tarja Karjalainen — Finnish journalist.
Subject of countless 2000s Finnish political histories.
Tarja does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Tarja reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
