"Sarah" is a name in the Bible, and she is mentioned in the "Origin" of the Old Testament. Her name was written as Sarai at that time. When she and her husband (Abram) fled their original place and passed through Egypt, they were deported by Egyptian pharaohs. God came to them and told them that they would be the creators of the promised land of Israel. Moreover, from now on, they will be recognized as "Sarah" and "Abraham". It should be pointed out that although "Sarah" is sometimes translated into "princess" and "goddess", its literal meaning is "princess of all things", and the name "Sarai" before Sarah is simply "princess".
