The meaning of Sarah
Sarah comes from the Hebrew name Sara, meaning “lady”, “princess” or “noblewoman”. In the Old Testament, Sarah is the wife of Abraham, who became a mother at 90. Her name was originally Sarai until God changed it, at the same time as Abram became Abraham. In England, Sarah came into use after the Protestant Reformation, and it was among the most popular names in England and Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.
Nicknames for Sarah
Sally began life as a nickname for Sarah, and so did Sadie, which has become a favorite in its own right. Sal and Sallie are also traditional. Many families simply drop the h for Sara, the spelling used across much of Europe, while Finnish has Saara and Sari, and modern Hebrew has Sarit.
Famous Sarahs
French actress Sarah Bernhardt was one of the most famous stage stars of the late 19th century. Sarah Jessica Parker is best known as Carrie Bradshaw, the columnist at the heart of Sex and the City. Australian actress Sarah Snook has won both an Emmy and a Tony for her work on screen and stage.

Sarah gift ideas
- For a little princess. Her name means “princess”, which makes a sweet line for a birthday card.
- For a writer. Channel Carrie Bradshaw: column ideas, city notes and big questions.

Who it’s for and ways to use it
This is a notebook for every kind of Sarah: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Why a name on the cover matters
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Sarah’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
