Sarah means ‘ princess’ or ‘woman of high rank’ because Sarah in the Bible was spoiled.

I sure wouldn't want a Prissy pot name name that means "princess", but this ugly mid eastern name doesn't even mean that anyway. The ugly name Sarah means force, or forceful.

The name does not mean strong hog in Bosnian, I am Bosnian and I can confirm it.

The spelling SERA means blood serum, rather the PLURAL OF, i.e. several blood serums. Ugh. Ugly name anyway, from Iraq.

My new baby granddaughter was named Sarah in 2014. Her parents are a bit older and have moved beyond the "teen mom" trendy names with the you-neek spellings that are so popular with today's young parents. Names come and go over the decades, but the traditional classics are never out of style. Biblical names are especially eternal -- you simply can't go wrong choosing one of them for a son or daughter. If you want to date your daughter to a certain decade, go ahead and name her Ashley, or Brooklyn, or Kynsleigh. But Sarah? Was Sarah born last year or 2000 years ago? It's a forever name, along with Elizabeth, Mary, and many others. Don't forget that the cute baby named Paizleigh is going to grow into a senior citizen named Paizleigh. If you are a Sarah, you are blessed indeed.

The meaning of the name is not lady or princess.
In Hebrew, srara (שררה) means authority, force, power. Hence, Sarah is a woman who has authority, force, or power. Female lord, if you will.
Nowadays, in Israel, the word just means minister in government (female minister, Sar for male).

Sara was also the name of the main character in the Andean maize legend. Sara Chojllu was a young woman who died due to a battle, but gave life to the maize plant from her heart watered by his husband's tears.

Sarah also means "pure, happy" in Sindhi, a famous fictional bearer of this name is Sarah-Jane Smith, who was a companion in Doctor Who, and also had a TV series on CBBC, called The Sarah-Jane Adventures.

I think the meaning is more 'dutchess' than 'princess', dunnow, in English they might be the same thing. My impression is that 'princess' is someone young and pretty and 'dutchess' sort of more mature character.

Can also be spelled Serah. Serah bat Asher was the first person to point out that Moses would be the redeemer and was the only one who knew where Joseph was buried so they could take his remains out of Egypt. According to the Talmud, she did not die but like Enoch and Elijah she was taken to heaven without death.

Sarah came from Sarah in the bible who's name was originally Sarai. Sarai means "my princess" (denotes belonging) wheras Sarah means basically "princess in her own right" i.e. she needs no kingdom to be a princess, she is one by nature. Some people believe that as Abraham (formerly Abraam) was given the extra letter 'h' in his name, so was Sarah. The 'h' comes from part of God's name Yahweh. And to my mind brings to mind the breath or spirit of God.
