I was in high school before I met anyone with this name, a girl in the class ahead of me. I thought it was a pretty and unusual name. Now you know how old I am!

Sarah is also generally used in Indonesia, as my given name is also Sarah and I'm an Indonesian. Please don't confuse my name with the one I use in my username, as it's only a character name in one of my story.Sarah is used in Malaysia too, as the name is considered an Islamic name both in Indonesia and Malaysia, though the Christians use that name too here. Sarah is flexible I think, it can be considered as an Islamic or Christian name. Many countries use the name, though I can't explicitly mention names of countries that use the name since I'm afraid that I might be wrong.That being said, my name is Sarah and I'm a native Indonesian born in an Islamic family.
Arabic should definitely be added to the usage list of this name. It is a common name amongst Arabs and Muslims elsewhere. In Arabic script, it is written as سارة. [noted -ed]
This name may be very popular in many countries, but in modern day Israel it's considered old fashioned. Outside the orthodox or religious community, it's very rare to find little girls named this way. Other versions like Sarit or Sarai are more common - there's a famous case of a popular singer who was originally called Sarah Hudadov, but changed it to the more attractive and modern-sounding Sarit Hadad.
