In the book of Genesis, Sarah is the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac, laughing in disbelief at the promise of a child in old age. She is revered as a matriarch in Judaism and Christianity, and honoured in Islam as the wife of Ibrahim. The doubled vowel of Saarah reflects the long A of the Arabic Sara. We note the name with respect (said 'SAH-rah').
