SOR-ka
Irish
"bright, shining"Sorcha Origin and Meaning
The name Sorcha is a girl's name of Irish origin meaning "bright, shining".
A popular Irish name virtually unknown here, but one that feels like it could follow in the footsteps of Siobhan and Saoirse. It's pronounced SOR-ka, but with a little hiccup between the 'r' and the 'c' that's difficult for non-Gaelic speakers to reproduce. Spelled (and pronounced) Sorsha, she is a major character in the movie Willow.
