Saray
About Saray
Saray is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, considered a variant of Sarah, which means 'princess' or 'noblewoman.' In Spanish-speaking countries, Saray is sometimes used as an alternative spelling of the Biblical name Sarai, who was Abraham's wife before God changed her name to Sarah. The name has gained moderate popularity in Spanish-speaking communities and has a melodic quality with its two-syllable pronunciation. While not as common as Sarah or Sara in English-speaking countries, Saray offers a distinctive variation with the same regal connotations. The name carries a sense of dignity and feminine strength.
Pronounced suh-RAY.
As of October 2026, Saray ranked #3568 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1779 in 2007.
