Hebrew Girl Names That Mean Royalty
Hebrew girl names that mean royalty cluster around one small root word, sar-, that quietly built four different names on this list.

Four names on this page trace back to the same tiny Hebrew root, sar-, meaning something close to prince or noblewoman. Sarah, the biblical wife of Abraham, is the anchor; Sara, Sadie, and Sarai are all variations spun off that same root over the centuries.
Royalty shows up elsewhere on the list too, carried by different roots entirely. Amira and Amirah mean princess or commander in Arabic and are also used in Jewish communities, while Zara blends Arabic and Hebrew roots into one regal, cross-cultural name.
Where Hebrew Girl Names That Mean Royalty Come From
The sar- root is doing a lot of work on this list, and it explains why Hebrew girl names that mean royalty are so easy to find: one small word for ruler or princess branched into a biblical name, a vintage nickname, and a modern favorite. Kayla reaches royalty by a different route, tracing to a Hebrew word for crown, while Ada pairs a Hebrew meaning of adornment with a separate Germanic sense of noble.
Names That Earned Their Crown Through Story
Not every royal connection here comes from a root word — some names earned their crown through story. Hadassah means myrtle tree, but it was Queen Esther's biblical birth name, so it carries royalty by association rather than translation. Leia leans on the biblical name Leah before Star Wars made Princess Leia unforgettable, and Raya, whose own meaning is simply friend, picked up its crown from a Disney princess film.

Frequently Asked
What does 'princess' actually mean in Hebrew names?
It usually traces back to the root sar-, an old Hebrew word for a ruler or noble. Sarah is the clearest example — its meaning is literally princess — and Sarai is its earlier biblical form.
Which Hebrew royalty name is most popular right now?
Sadie is the standout, sitting at number 50 in the U.S. and still rising. It's a nickname form of Sarah that has outgrown its origins as a diminutive.
Is Hadassah a name that literally means royalty?
No — Hadassah means myrtle tree. Its royal connection comes from history rather than translation: it was the birth name of Queen Esther before her covenant name change.
