What is the meaning of the name Sarra ?

The baby name Sarra is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈsɑːrə/ — respelling: 'SAR-ruh' or 'SAH-rah'.

Sarra is Hebrew in Origin.

Sarra is an international variant of Sarah, ultimately from Hebrew Sarah (from the root s-r-r, 'to rule,' related to sar, 'prince'). The meaning is commonly given as 'princess' or 'noblewoman.' In the Hebrew Bible, the patriarch's wife is first Sarai and then Sarah; the Greek Septuagint renders the name as Sarra, a form that passed into Church Slavonic and explains the double-r spelling.

Records show Sarra in medieval France and Italy, and in the Russian Orthodox calendar; it also appears in Francophone North Africa as a French-influenced spelling of Arabic Sara. Today the form is rare in English but chosen to distinguish the classic name. Close variants include Sarah, Sara, and Sarai; cognates and nicknames range from Sára (Hungarian) to Sari, Sarita, Sally, and Sadie. Whatever the language, the sense of dignified 'princess' and ancestral resonance remains.
