Sarra

Girl name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sarra: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1981.

Sarra is a variant of Sarah, ultimately from the Hebrew *śārāh*, meaning “princess” or “lady.” It is the name of the biblical wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac, making it a classic choice with deep roots in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Notable bearers include Scottish-born actress Sarra Allen, who appeared in television series during the 1990s, and English author Sarra Manning, known for her young adult and romantic fiction. While no major places are directly named after a Sarra, the related spelling Sarah has inspired many geographical features and institutions worldwide.
