Sarra Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Hebrew ‘princess’. The wife of Abraham, whose name was originally Sarai ‘contentious’, was later called Sarah. Sara is the hellenized form of the name. It is found in use in England as a christian name from the 12th C, usually in the form Sarra, but was not really common until after the Reformation, when Sarah becomes the usual spelling. In the 17th C the form Sarey is found (cf. the vulgar 19th-C pronunciation, e.g ‘Sairey Gamp'). In the 18th and 19th C the compound Saranna (Sara + Anna) had a certain vogue. The usual pet-form of the name in England is Sally (cf. Mally for Mary, Hal for Harry); in USA Sadie (cf. Maidie for Mary). In Ireland Sarah has been used to render the native Sorcha and Saraid.
