Hey! I'm famous!
I'm not quite sure about the name Sarai, but I always thought it was related to Sarah. God gave her a letter change, like he did with Abraham, giving both his letter. Either that, or I heard once that Sarai is a diminutive of Sarah (I doubt this is the case, but...) because it's spelled the same as Sari, which is definitely a diminutive of Sarah. Either way, Sarai is related to Sarah. Therefore, same meaning (which is more or less princess/female goverment minister in modern usage of the word).
This is what I've always thought, but it could very well be that I'm wrong and they're completely different names.

Thanks.
This site lists the name as meaning contentious. I was curious.
