What does the name Sarahy mean?
Sarahy is a spelling of Sarahi, pronounced the same way, so it shares Sarahi's meaning and origin.
Sarahi is a Spanish-language spelling, popular in Mexico, of Sarai, the original name of Sarah in Genesis before God renamed her (Genesis 17:15). Wiktionary derives Sarai from Hebrew sar 'master, chief, prince', so it is usually read as 'my princess'. Wiktionary lists Sarahi itself without an etymology, and the h may reflect the influence of Sarah.
שָׂרַי (Saray) (Biblical Hebrew, “Sarai”)שַׂר (sar) (Hebrew, “prince, chief”)
