Girl name · 32 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sarah-Jayne: 32 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1994.
Sarah‑Jayne is a modern double‑barrelled name, blending Sarah (from the Hebrew *śārāh*, meaning “princess” or “lady”) with Jayne, a feminine form of John, itself from the Hebrew *Yōḥānān* (“God is gracious”). Together, these two classic biblical names create a graceful, contemporary compound. Notable bearers include English actress Sarah‑Jayne Dunn, known for her role in *Hollyoaks*, and British neuroscientist Sarah‑Jayne Blakemore, whose work on adolescent brain development has been widely recognised. While the name does not have direct place connections, its components have inspired countless variations worldwide. In
