Sabar is Arabic in Origin.

Sabar is a masculine given name tied to the Semitic root S-B-R, source of Arabic sabr “patience, endurance, steadfastness.” In Urdu, Malay, and Indonesian, sabar is the everyday word “to be patient,” and this vernacular spelling serves as a modern given name; classical Arabic more often writes it Sabr. Related forms include the intensive sabbar “very patient,” a word also used for the prickly pear or aloe, which lies behind the Hebrew/Israeli sabra/tzabar for a native-born Israeli.

As a personal name, Sabar appears across South and Southeast Asia and in Arabic-speaking communities, invoking the Qur’anic virtue of steadfastness. Close variants and cognates include Sabir (“patient one”), Sabri/Sabry (“of patience”), and the feminine Sabira/Sabriyya; spellings such as Sabr, Sabbar, and Saber (Maghrebi/Francophone) also occur. In India it sometimes overlaps in sound with Sabari/Shabari (from Sanskrit and the Ramayana), though the etymologies differ.
