I’m confused… So Sarah doesn’t mean “princess” in Arabic then??

Sarah means princess in Hebrew not Arabic. Also, spelling it without an h at the end makes you a loser. 🙂

The correct meaning of Sarah/Sara is “princess”… It means the same Hebrew and Arabic because both are Semitic languages with similar roots… Look up the etymology and you’ll find this is the correct meaning.

This website stating it means “joy” is wrong.. remember to do your own research and not believe everything you read on the internet.. I’ve noticed this website has made a number of errors on name entries..
