Sarah is a Hebrew name derived from the root śārāh, meaning princess or noblewoman, and is closely related to the earlier form Sarai. In the Hebrew Bible, she is the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac, making her one of the most prominent matriarchs of the Abrahamic faiths, which spread the name widely across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. The Arabic form Sara is used throughout the Muslim world in reference to the same figure. Variants and cognates include Sara, Zara, and Sorcha.
