Full Meaning of Saara

Saara is an indirect Quranic name for girls. It is a common version of the name Saarah. Saara is not standard Arabic but since many people like how it sounds (with two long “a” sounds instead of one long and one short), they use it instead of Saarah.

Since Saara is derived from Saarah, and since Saarah is derived from the S-R-R Quranic root, both Saara and Saarah can be considered Quranic names.

Saara in Persian means “pure”, “untainted”, and they use it as the name of Prophet Ibrahim’s wife instead of the standard Arabic Saarah.
