History & Origin

Sarrah is a variant of Sarah, from Hebrew Sarah, 'princess; noblewoman.' In Genesis, Sarai is renamed Sarah when God promises she will be the mother of nations; she is honored in Judaism, Christianity and Islam alike. The doubled-r spelling appears in older Latin manuscripts and survives as a rare modern variant (said 'SAIR-uh').

The Sarrah spelling is very rare in the U.S., while Sarah remains an enduring classic. Rare spelling, biblical, and timeless.

Did you know? The doubled r in Sarrah is not a modern invention — it appears in old Latin and Greek renderings of the biblical name, long before anyone thought of respellings.
