Namesake
In 1888, the school was named "Phra Racha Chaya Girls School" after Phra Racha Chaya (พระราชชายา) Chao Dara Rasmi (ดารารัศมี), a princess from the Thipjakrathiwong Dynasty of Chiang Mai. Technically, she was a commoner from the point of view of the Chakri Dynasty, and was thus initially appointed as a Chao Chom. She was later "ennobled" and given this particular title, which, although higher in status than Chao Chom, was still the most junior among the royal wives of King Chulalongkorn who were born princesses.
In 1923 the school was renamed "Dara Academy". "Dara" means "star" in Thai language.
