Saharah
Meaning of Saharah
Saharah traces its origins to the Arabic word ṣaḥrā’ (“desert”), yet in Persian-speaking regions the added –h softens the ending and lends the name a distinctive regional cadence. In the United States its popularity has remained quietly modest—only five to fifteen newborns per year, with rankings hovering between 890 and 984 from 1998 through 2022—an analytical indicator of its low but steady appeal. Pronounced suh-HAIR-uh (/səˈhɛrə/), the name marries familiar English rhythms with an exotic resonance, evoking the hush of shifting dunes at first light. Against a backdrop of more ubiquitous choices, Saharah emerges as a solitary oasis in the registry: both unassuming and unforgettable.
