Sarai

Pronunciation: sah-RIY (key)

Commentary on the name Sarai:

In the Bible, Abram and Sarai were the original names of the couple whom God blessed and renamed Abraham and Sarah. Abram has a familar sound in English but Sarai has always been rare and exotic. In the past few years that has begun to change. It is still uncommon, but increasingly fashionable.
