“princess, noblewoman”
Sarra means “princess” or “noblewoman.” It derives from the Hebrew name Śārāh and is used as a feminine given name in Türkiye. Related forms include Sara and Sâre.

What does Sarra mean?
Princess, noblewoman
In Turkish: prenses, soylu kadın
Sara shares its origin with Sarah, known as Abraham’s wife and Isaac’s mother. Sarra and Sâre are related forms. The Turkish common noun sara, denoting epilepsy, is an unrelated homonym; its medical meaning should not be transferred to the personal name merely because the spellings coincide.
The ending “-ra” is a shared final sound rather than a meaningful suffix in Zehra, Azra and Esra. Their meanings come from the whole name, not the final two letters. More girl names ending in -ra →
