Meaning, origin, history
Sarai is a female given name of Hebrew origin. It means "princess" or "queen". In the Bible, Sarai was the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac. She is mentioned in several stories, including one where she is renamed Sarah by God after being promised a son in her old age. The name Sarai is often used as an alternative spelling to Sarah, which is more commonly known. However, both names have the same meaning and origin. Today, Sarai is still used as a given name for girls, particularly among Jewish families, but it is not as popular as Sarah.
