Sara

Sara is a Hebrew name derived from the root śārāh, meaning princess or noblewoman. It is the older, unadorned form of the name borne in the Hebrew Bible by the wife of Abraham, whose name was changed from Sarai to Sarah as a sign of her covenant role as mother of nations. The form Sara has been widely used across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, remaining common in Italian, Spanish, Scandinavian, and Persian traditions. Closely related forms include Sarah, Sarai, and Zara.
