What Does the Name Sarrah Mean?
Sarrah is a variant spelling of the name Sarah. It derives from the Hebrew name שָׂרָה (Sarah), which is formed from the root śar, meaning "prince," "ruler," or "chief," plus a feminine ending. The literal sense is therefore "princess" or "noblewoman," and this is the meaning usually given for the name.
In the Hebrew Bible the same woman is first called Sarai (שָׂרַי) and is later renamed Sarah. The two forms share the same root, but the reason for the change is explained in different ways: some read Sarai as a narrower, possessive form ("my princess") and Sarah as a more general one ("princess"), while others treat the distinction as uncertain.
Sarrah Name History & Origins
Sarah is the name of the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac in the Book of Genesis. She first appears there as Sarai, and the narrative of Genesis 17 records the change of her name to Sarah. Because of that biblical role, the name was carried through Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Sarah also appears in the New Testament, where she is named in passages such as 1 Peter 3.
In Greek the name is written Σάρρα (Sarra) and in Latin as Sarra, both with a doubled r. From these forms the name passed into European languages. The standard English form is Sarah, while Sara is usual in several other languages, including Italian and Spanish. Sarrah is a less common English spelling; its doubled r matches the Greek and Latin form Sarra, and its final h matches the Hebrew-derived English spelling Sarah.
