Sari

/SAH · ree/


“Princess, or essence”

Two distinct origins: (1) a Finnish variant of Saara/Sarah, ultimately from the Hebrew name Sarah, meaning 'lady, princess, noblewoman'; (2) an Indonesian name meaning 'essence'. In English, sari is also the everyday word for the traditional garment worn across the Indian subcontinent, unrelated to either origin.

How it ages.

A short name with two unrelated origins - a Finnish form of Sarah and an Indonesian word for 'essence' - used quietly in both cultures.

The cultural moment.

Used quietly in Finland and Indonesia for generations, with little presence in English-speaking rankings today.
