Trivia: Rebecca Gayheart was initially cast as Inarra, but was replaced after one day of filming as she reportedly didn't have enough chemistry with the rest of the cast. Morena Baccarin was cast two days later and reportedly started filming that same day to make up for lost time.
Trivia: Neil Patrick Harris reportedly auditioned and was considered for the role of Simon. He later went on to play the titular character in "Firefly" creator Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog."

Question: I've never seen the show myself, but I was wondering what kind of a name "Inara Serra" is. I'm assuming Inara is of Portuguese origin, but mostly because the actress was born in Brazil. Can someone please help me with this?

Answer: Inara is actually Arabic in origin; it means "ray of light" or alternatively "heaven sent". Serra, on the other hand, is Portuguese and means "mountain range" - derived from the same word in Latin, where it means 'saw' (as in the cutting implement, which a mountain range might resemble, rather than the act of seeing).
