Sarra is of Arabic origin, meaning "princess" or "noble". It is pronounced as /ˈsɑːrə/. In some regions, it may also be spelled Sara or Sarah, but Sarra maintains its unique character with the double 'r'. This name has gained popularity globally, particularly in Muslim communities, due to its regal connotation. It is often used independently but can also serve as a short form of longer names like Sarrabanu or Sarrafina. In some cultures, it might be associated with the biblical Sarah, although its origin and pronunciation differentiate it from this name.
The name Sarra experienced a peak popularity from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, with its highest years being 1980 (20 births) and 1997 (29 births). However, it has since declined in usage, with only 5 or fewer births recorded each year from 2010 onwards.
