Name meaning and origin
Sahra derives from the word sahra' (vast steppe, desert) in the Arabic language and denotes an endless, flat open space. The word passed from Arabic into both Persian and the Turkic languages, where it is likewise used in the sense of an expanse of open land.
As a name, Sahra is one of those that evoke a feeling of breadth, freedom, and openness; it is one of the simply pronounced girl names that have grown popular in Azerbaijan in recent decades. Since its meaning is connected to nature, there is no Islamic objection to bearing it.
