Saraiyah
Meaning of Saraiyah
Saraiyah is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, melding the biblical Sarai (Sarah’s original name) with the theophoric suffix –yah (a variant of Yahweh), collectively conveying “princess of God.” Pronounced suh-RYE-yuh (/səˈraɪjə/), it holds a modest but stable place in American name charts: in 2024 it ranked 926th with 24 recorded births, and over the past decade it has consistently appeared in the 900–950 range. This steady presence suggests its appeal to parents seeking a name that marries classical resonance with a contemporary twist. Unlike more ubiquitous biblical names, Saraiyah’s relative rarity means it’s unlikely a classroom of thirty will include more than one bearer of the name. Yet it remains comfortably rooted in established Anglo-American naming patterns. Its balanced popularity highlights a thoughtful choice for families who value both heritage and individuality.
