Sarahi origin and meaning

Spanish, built on the biblical Sarai

An elaborated form of Sarai — the original name of the biblical Sarah, from Hebrew sarai, 'my princess'; the exact route from Sarai to Sarahi is not documented

Sarahi grows out of Sarai, the name the Bible gives Sarah before her renaming, with an extra syllable that Spanish-speaking parents in the Americas favoured from the 1980s onward. The root is solidly biblical, but the -hi ending is a modern elaboration whose precise origin — decorative, or by analogy with other names — is not recorded. It is rising again after a 2008 peak.

Origin uncertain

Sarahi is a 6 letter name with 3 syllables.
