Thinking about the name
Sarai
Hebrew origin
“The original Hebrew form used in the Bible for Abraham's wife before she was renamed Sarah, meaning 'contentious' or 'quarrelsome,' though later understood as 'princess.' Sarai has gained modern popularity as parents seek biblical authenticity and the charm of less-common Old Testament names. Its two-syllable simplicity and vintage quality appeal to those wanting substance with subtlety.”
