ArchivesRe: Sorcha
in reply to a message by sunnygirl
I too have found baby name books to often give incorrect information like that. It probably just said that because Sorcha is sometimes used as the Irish form of Sarah, even though it actually isn't, and the author didn't do their research. I really like Sorcha.

Sarah is used as an form of Sorcha, even though they're completely unrelated. The similarity is really only in sound, but the same is true of many other Anglicised names. (Another Anglicised form of Sorcha is Clara, meaning clear or bright, in which case the linking came from meaning instead.) Maybe it is you who has not done your research.
