Sarah f
Biblical: name of the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. According to the Book of Genesis, she was originally called Sarai (possibly meaning ‘contentious’ in Hebrew), but had her name changed by God to the more auspicious Sarah ‘princess’ in token of a greater blessing (Genesis 17: 15, ‘And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be’). In Ireland this has been used as an Anglicized form of SORCHA (SEE Sorcha), in Scotland of MÓR (SEE Mór).
Cognate: Hungarian: Sára.
