Sabra

Meaning of Sabra

Sabra (SAY-bruh) feels like the first raindrop in a monsoon—small but brimming with promise. In Hebrew, it’s the prickly pear cactus, hinting at a spirit as tough on the outside yet sweet on the inside. It even echoes the Arabic sabr for patience, weaving ancient wisdom into every syllable. In the US, Sabra dances back into the Top 1000 this year at rank 942 with just eight newborns, a playful wink that rarity can shine brightest. Warm, spirited and endlessly hopeful, Sabra is the perfect name for a little girl poised to bloom, come rain or shine.
