What is the meaning of the name Sabrah ?

Sabrah is Arabic, Hebrew in Origin.

Sabrah is a Semitic given name drawing on two intertwined sources. In Arabic, it stems from the triliteral root s-b-r, "patience, endurance," making Sabrah a name that evokes steadfastness and resilience. In Hebrew and Modern Israeli usage, the closely related Sabra (from Arabic sabr/sabrah) names the prickly pear cactus and, by extension, a native-born Israeli - "tough on the outside, tender within." Together these strands give Sabrah layered meanings: patient, resilient, and warmly protective.

Historically, the name is attested in Arabic sources (e.g., the Companion Sabrah ibn Ma'bad); in modern use it appears primarily for girls across the Arab world and the diaspora. In English-speaking countries, Sabra entered occasional use in the early 20th century; the -h ending of Sabrah is a modern variant favored for its softer look. Related forms include Sabra, Sabria/Sabriya (and Sabriyya), and Sabreen. Not to be confused with Sabrina, which has different origins.
