Sahari

Meaning of Sahari

Sahari is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, derived from the word sahar, which means “dawn” and conveys associations of new beginnings and gentle light. In English it is pronounced suh-HAR-ee (/sə.ˈhɑr.i/), and while it remains relatively uncommon—first appearing in U.S. birth records in 2008 with five occurrences—it has seen modest growth in recent years, peaking at 40 newborns in 2023 and ranking 918th in popularity. Parents often choose Sahari for its lyrical sound and understated elegance, qualities that lend a sense of optimism without venturing into overly familiar territory. Its steady, if not stellar, performance on naming charts suggests Sahari strikes a balance between uniqueness and accessibility, ensuring any child who bears it is unlikely to share her name with every classmate.
