My name is Sara, everyone calls me sari though and I always understood it to be coming from the hebrew word Sar which is minister or prince, sara being the female version. Its definitely hebrew.

Now that we’ve determined that the child’s name is Yiddish, the parents will need similar names. May I suggest Tumah and Kittel?

Hey Dave! Hilarious post! You are a funny guy.

So with regards to the name Suri. Perhaps they are trying to do a variation on the name Sari which indeed means princess (Sari aka Sarah)

I think the translation actually makes sence. Today we use “Sar” for “minister”, but this word is also the progenitor of “Tsar”, “Ceasar”, “Keisar”, e.t.c.

Sarah or Sarai would have been a foundation for the word “princess”.

Suri? Sounds like a Yiddish form of Sarah, similar to “Sruli” being a Yiddish nickname for “Yisrael”.
