History & Origin

Saraih is a respelling of Sarai, the name Sarah carried before God renamed her in the book of Genesis. From the Hebrew root sarah, 'to rule,' it means 'princess' or 'noblewoman.' Sarah, wife of Abraham, is a revered matriarch, and we treat the name reverently; the -ih ending is a modern cosmetic flourish on a very old, sacred name.

It has always been rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 2002, far behind the classic Sarah. A girl named Saraih then is a young adult today.

Did you know? In the Bible, Sarai is renamed Sarah as a sign of God's covenant; Saraih keeps the earlier form's sound while reaching for the same regal meaning, 'princess.'
