Origin, Meaning, And History Of Sarai
In Hebrew, Sarai meant a noblewoman or princess. It comes from the Biblical name ‘Sarai’ given to the woman who later became Sarah in the Old Testament. She was Isaac’s mother, Abraham’s wife, and a significant figure in the Abrahamic religion. She was known for her beauty, benevolence, purity, and loyalty to God. She was a role model to mothers during and well beyond her time. In the Bible, Sarah’s fear and uncertainty about her barrenness before the birth of Isaac stood in contrast to her husband’s embodiment of optimistic hope for the promise of a mighty nation. Hence, Sarai has been a prominent religious name for centuries.
