Sarah-Ann
Girl name · 15 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sarah-Ann: 15 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1989.
The name Sarah-Ann is a compound of two classic names, each with deep roots. Sarah originates from the Hebrew *Śārāh*, meaning "princess" or "noblewoman," famously borne by the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament. Ann is the English form of Hannah, from the Hebrew *Channah*, meaning "grace" or "favour." Together, the name evokes a sense of regal grace. Notable bearers include Sarah Ann Horn, a 19th-century English author and missionary, and Sarah Ann Dickey, an American educator who founded a college for African American women. The name shares its roots with the Scottish place name Annan, a town in Dumfriesshire, which derives from the same Celtic river name as Ann. A charming variant is the Welsh Sian-Anne, which offers a slightly different cadence while retaining the same elegant meaning.
