Sarah comes from the Hebrew Sārāh (שָׂרָה), meaning "princess" or "noblewoman." In Genesis, Sarah is the wife of Abraham and matriarch of the Israelites, a figure of central importance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Her story — including the birth of Isaac in her old age — is one of the most-told in the Hebrew Bible.
Sarah has been continuously in use among Jewish families for over three thousand years, and across the Christian world since the early Middle Ages. It is also widely used in Muslim communities as Sarah is honoured as the wife of Ibrahim (Abraham) in Islamic tradition. Few names are so universally shared across the three Abrahamic faiths.
Two syllables, four letters, three thousand years of continuous use, and one of the simplest noble names in human history.
Sarah reduces to seven — the number of contemplation and faith.
