Diarra information

Diarra is a French translation of the clan name Jara used in West Africa, as a hangover from the French colonial empire in that region. It originates from the Bambara language word jara, meaning lion,^[1] synonymous with waraba.^[2] The Kingdom of Diarra existed from the 7th Century until the 19th Century. The name is also frequently used with reference to the 18th to early 19th-century Bambara Empire in Ségou, Mali, which was ruled successively by Ngolo Diarra, his son Mansong (or Monzon) Diarra, and then his son Da Diarra.^[3]^[4]

The clan name (or patronym^[5]) Jara/Diarra is related to another clan name, Koné,^[1] and is heard in many of the chronicles that have been handed down orally.^[6] Both are frequently praised together in song, signifying bravery and fearlessness.^[1]^[7]

The name Diarra, now a surname, is traditionally found mostly in Mali, but also Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Senegal. Today, it has also spread around the world, notably in France and Spain.^[8] Today, it is also used as a given name.
