Sahari has been in the US stats since 2008, but 2025 saw it more than double in usage when it was given to 70 girls — the highest number of Saharis on record.
A name with a number of possible origins, Sahari could have its roots in the Arabic Sahara ("deserts"), the Arabic Sahar ("morning, dawn"), or in the Hebrew Sahar ("crescent, moon"). Additionally, it is sometimes linked to the Finnish Sakari (a form of Zachary, "Yahweh remembers") and to the Spanish Sarahi (from Biblical Sarai, "princess").
