Princess
| Root | שרר (ś-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | rule, govern, exercise authority, princely status, dominion |
| Semantic Range | princess, noblewoman, woman of high rank, female ruler; as a proper name, Sarah |
| Conceptual Significance | Sarah is the matriarch of Israel, wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. Her name, meaning "Princess," reflects both personal dignity and covenantal destiny, as she is declared to be the mother of nations and kings (Genesis 17:16), embodying royal promise within the Abrahamic covenant. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular proper noun (HNp). Derived from the noun שַׂר (prince, ruler) with the feminine ending ־ָה. Used exclusively as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name שָׂרָה (Sârâh) is the feminine singular form derived from the root שרר, related to שַׂר ("prince, ruler"). Rendering it as "Princess" preserves the root sense of rulership and noble authority while accurately reflecting the feminine singular proper noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp). |
