About Sorcha
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.
Pronounced SOR-uh-kuh.
As of October 2026, Sorcha ranked #13015 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #8067 in 1994.
