History & Origin

Saray is a Spanish-favored spelling of Sarai — Hebrew, 'my princess' — the original name of the matriarch Sarah, wife of Abraham. Popular in Spain and Latin America, it keeps the biblical name's pre-covenant intimacy with a flowing -ay finish.

In the U.S. it appears in Latino families. Rare, my-princess at the root, and lyrical.

Did you know? In Genesis, God renames Sarai ('my princess') to Sarah ('princess of multitudes') — so Saray preserves the matriarch's first, intimate name.
