Where does the name Sara come from?
Sara is a form of Sarah used in many languages. Sarah is a Hebrew name meaning “lady, princess, noblewoman”, and in the Bible she is the wife of Abraham and a major figure in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Wikipedia notes that the name is used by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. The Sara spelling, without the h, is the usual form in Italian, Spanish, the Scandinavian languages and many others.
Other forms of Sara
Sally and Sadie both began as pet forms of Sara and Sarah, which surprises many people. Behind the Name also lists Sal, Sallie and Sarina, and abroad you’ll find Sarita in Spanish and Saija in Finnish. And of course there’s the Sarah spelling.
Well-known Saras
Sara Bareilles had a hit with “Love Song” and wrote the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical Waitress. Sara Blakely founded Spanx and in 2012 appeared on the cover of Forbes as the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. And poet Sara Teasdale won a Pulitzer Prize in 1918 for her collection Love Songs.
Sara’s popularity
Sara has been in the US top 200 in every decade since the 1880s, according to Social Security data, usually in the shadow of Sarah. It took off in the 1970s and peaked at 30th in the 1980s, when more than 104,000 American girls were named Sara. It was still 43rd in the 1990s and 152nd in the 2010s.
A few more things about Sara
In the Book of Genesis, Sarah starts out as Sarai, and God changes her name to Sarah at the same time as Abraham’s, when he promises that she will be “a mother of nations”. Behind the Name adds that she became pregnant with Isaac at the age of 90. So the name has been about new beginnings for a very long time.

A notebook for every Sara

Why choose a personalized notebook?
