Tar Heel is a nickname of the state and inhabitants of North Carolina and of the University of North Carolina athletic teams and students. It's not certain where the name comes from, but most believe that tar, pitch and turpentine created from the pine forests of North Carolina were one of its most important exports early on. Tar comes from burning pine logs until hot oil seeped out.

It seems like there might be a spelling error. "Tar heel" typically refers to a person from North Carolina. The term originates from the state's history of producing tar, pitch, and turpentine from the abundance of pine forests. It is commonly associated with the University of North Carolina and its sports teams.
