Sahar is an Arabic name meaning the dawn — specifically that luminous hour just before daybreak, when the sky first begins to lighten. It is a name of quiet hope and new beginnings.
Soft and poetic, it is loved across the Arabic- and Persian-speaking worlds, carrying the fresh promise of morning.
For a child who brings light after darkness, Sahar is the first glow of day.
Sahar does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Sahar reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
