Origin and meaning of Sara
Sara comes from the Hebrew Sarah, 'princess, noblewoman': in the Bible she is Abraham's wife and mother of Isaac, matriarch of a people. Its regal meaning and clear sound have made it a much-loved, cross-cultural name. It is widespread across Europe — Italy, Spain, Germany, Scandinavia — and in the Arab world too, where it appears as the kindred Sarah. Simple and luminous, it blends ancient tradition with contemporary freshness.
