Sara is actually a variant of the name, Sarah. Sarah, which means, "Princess," in Hebrew, was the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament and in the Quran. Since he is sometimes called the, "Father of Humanity," Sarah would be the, "Mother of Humanity." It quickly became a very popular name for girls.
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, there were many Germans that were trying to get away from Hebrew-sounding names due to the persecution by the Nazis. The name, Sara," began to pop up. Sarah was a very popular name in Germany, but new parents wanted a spelling that was different from the one that would have been found on the certificates of Jewish children. The, "H," was dropped.
