Pronunciation

Proper noun

edit

Sara (plural Saras)

  1. A female given name from Latin [in turn from Ancient Greek, in turn from Hebrew], variant of Sarah
    • 1611, The Holy Bible, [] (King James Version), London: [] Robert Barker, [], →OCLC, Hebrews 11:11:
      Through faith also Sara her selfe receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a child when she was past age, because she iudged him faithful who had promised.
    • 1850 Dinah Craik, Olive, Chapman and Hall, page 151:
      Olive learnt that her young beauty's name, so far from being anything so fine as Maddalena, was plain Sarah — or Sara, as its owner took care to explain. Olive was rather disappointed - but she thought of Coleridge's ladye love; consoled herself, and tried to console the young lady, with repeating
      My pensive Sara! thy soft cheek reclined, &c.
      At which Miss Sara Derwent laughed, and asked who wrote that very pretty poetry?
    • 2008, Philip Hensher, The Northern Clemency, HarperCollins, →ISBN, page 175:
      'I wish I was called Sara,' she said out loud.
      'Sarah?' her mother said. 'Why the heck is being called Sarah better than being called Tracy?'
      'Not Sarah, Sara,' Tracy said. 'There's no h, you say Saaara.'

    • 1927, Anni Swan, Sara ja Sarri, WSOY, published 1966, page 14:
      Sarri niiasi ja tunsi olonsa kovin kömpelöksi.
      "Ruustinna lähetti terveisiä", hän sai soperretuksi.
      "Kiitän. Mikä on nimesi?"
      "Saara."
      "Kuinka hauskaa! Aivan sama nimi kuin minullakin."
      Vanha rouva kääntyi puhujan puoleen.
      "Sara, sinäkö jalkeilla näin aikaisin? - - -"
      Sarri curtseyed and felt very awkward.
      "The provost's wife sent her regards", she got blurted out.
      "Thank you. What is your name?"
      "Saara."
      "How funny is that! That's the same name I have."
      The ole lady turned towards the person speaking.
      "Sara, are you up this early? - - -"
    • 1982, Eeva Joenpelto, Elämän rouva, rouva Glad, WSOY, →ISBN, page 133:
      Ja jos voisitte pyhästä saarnatuolistanne lausua etunimen Sara, ei Saara. Siis Sara Elisa Glad.
      And if you may still pronounce Sara from your sacred pulpit, not Saara. Sara Elisa Glad.
    • 1995, Jari Tervo, Pyhiesi yhteyteen, WSOY, →ISBN, page 89:
      ―Mulla on sama nimi näyttelijän kans.
      ―Kenen.
      ―Isi sanoo niin.
      ―Mikä nimi se on.
      Sara.
      ―Se on hieno nimi.
      Sara Suurperkiö, kuusi vuotta.
      ―I've got the same name as an actress.
      ―Who.
      ―Dad tells me that.
      ―What's the name.
      Sara.
      ―That's a good name.
      Sara Suurperkiö, six years old.
    • 2002, Leena Lehtolainen, Kun luulit unohtaneesi, Tammi, →ISBN:
      Sara oli inhonnut sukunimeään lapsesta asti, ja kymmenkunta vuotta sitten hän oli vaihtanut sen Seliniksi, joka oli ollut mummon isänäidin tyttönimi. Samalla hävisi Saarasta toinen a, mutta äiti ja Veikko kutsuivat häntä edelleen Saaraksi.
      Sara had loathed her surname ever since she was a child, and some dozen years later she had changed it to Selin, the maiden name of her father's mother. At the same time Saara lost one of its A's, but her mother and Veikko still called her Saara.
