覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Sarah は英語圏で広く使われる女性名で、通常は先頭を大文字にして Sarah と書きます。ヘブライ語で「王女・高貴な女性」を表す由来を、princess と結び付けて覚えましょう。語末に h のない Sara も一般的な異綴です。文中では姓や my friend などの情報が、どのサラかを示します。
Treat Sarah as a personal name and normally capitalize its first letter. Its traditional Hebrew meaning, “princess” or “noblewoman,” gives you a factual memory link: imagine a person named Sarah beside the word princess. Pay attention to the final h, because Sara is also a common spelling but is not identical on forms, lists, or official records. In sentences, extra information identifies the individual: my neighbor Sarah, Sarah from school, or Sarah followed by a surname. The name’s biblical history helps explain why it has remained familiar across many languages and cultures.

sarah の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語 שָׂרָה（Sarah）に由来し「王女・高貴な女性」を意味する。旧約聖書でアブラハムの妻の名として有名。関連名に Sara、Sarai がある。「高貴な者」という語源から、古代から尊い名前として広く使われてきた。
Sarah comes from the Hebrew feminine name Sarah, traditionally interpreted as “princess” or “noblewoman.” In the Hebrew Bible, Sarah is the wife of Abraham, which helped the name spread through Jewish, Christian, and later wider European naming traditions. English adopted the biblical form Sarah, while Sara became a common spelling variant in numerous languages. Sarai is an older related biblical form, but Sarah is the form that became especially widespread in English usage.
