Means "lady"
or "princess" in Hebrew. This was the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old
Testament. She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was
originally שָׂרָי (Saray), but God changed it (see Genesis 17:15). In
England, Sarah came into use after the Protestant Reformation. In the Old
Testament, Sarah was the wife of Abraham, and the mother of Isaac.
Her name was first Sarai ("my princess"), which God changed to Sarah ("princess")
as her descendants were to be the future nation of Israel.
Famous bearers include Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, 19th century actress
Sarah Bernhardt and Sarah Childress Polk, wife of 19th century American
President James Polk. Sarah was the 3rd most popular name in Austria in 2006,
and the 9th most popular in Belgium.
Balanced and fairminded you possess the ability to use sound reason and
judgement when determined and decisive action is required. Persuasive and
logical you tend to be an influential figure in your circle of friends and
associates. You are extremely adaptable and this is necessary as you seem to
be continually being presented with decisions of a life altering nature. |
