Sarit

שָׂרִית

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: princess

• Sarit is a modern Hebrew name meaning "princess," offering a streamlined, contemporary take on the Sarah lineage. Where Sarah can feel traditional and formal, Sarit has a crispness and directness to it that Israeli parents have loved for decades. Israeli singer Sarit Hadad, one of the country's biggest pop stars, has made this name synonymous with powerhouse talent and charisma.

  All the regal heritage of Sarah comes through here, but in a package that feels zippy and contemporary. Its two crisp syllables make it memorable without being fussy, sitting comfortably alongside other sharp Hebrew favorites like Amit and Ronit. For parents who love the idea of naming after a matriarch but want something with a distinctly Israeli edge, Sarit is a brilliant update on a classic.
