Zarah
Zarah Origin and Meaning
Zarah is a feminine name with rich multicultural origins. It's a variant of Sarah, derived from Hebrew meaning 'princess,' but this spelling gives it a more exotic and distinctive character. In Arabic contexts, Zarah relates to 'brilliance' or 'flower,' while some associate it with 'radiance' or 'the rising of light.' The name appears in various cultures including Persian, Arabic, and European traditions, each adding layers to its meaning. The 'Z' initial and 'h' ending create a balanced, melodic quality that feels both ancient and contemporary. While less common than Sarah, Zarah has gained appreciation among parents seeking a name with cross-cultural appeal, spiritual significance, and a touch of uniqueness without being difficult to pronounce.
