Serah is Hebrew in Origin.

Serah is a Hebrew feminine name with two converging streams of origin. Many modern speakers use it as a streamlined spelling of Sarah, yielding the classic meaning “princess” or “noblewoman.” In the Hebrew Bible, though, Serah (also transliterated Serach) appears as the daughter of Asher (Genesis 46:17; Numbers 26:46); this distinct form derives from the root s‑r‑ḥ, associated with “excess, abundance, to extend,” giving Serah the sense of “overflowing” or “plentiful.”

Use of Serah occurs across Jewish tradition - midrashim remember Serah bat Asher for her wisdom and long life - and has been revived in modern Israel. In the English‑speaking world it serves as an alternative to Sarah, with additional uptake in East and West Africa and parts of South Asia via Christian naming. Variants and related forms include Serach, Sarah, Sarai, and Sera; Serah gained wider recognition in pop culture through the character Serah Farron in Final Fantasy XIII.
