This is the name of president Toledo's of Peru's daughter, Zarai, so i wondered if anybody knew what the name meant and what the regional linguistic origin is?

Yes, it most probably is a form of Sarai. In Latin American Spanish, "s" and "z" are pronounced identically, and one often sees Hispanic parents in the USA respelling names by alternating these letters, as in "Jezzica" for Jessica.
