ArchivesRe: meaning/origin of name Sabree
in reply to a message by melanie
There is an Arabic name Sabri, but it's a male name. It could be a variant of Sabrina or perhaps a variant of the Hebrew Sabra, which is a kind of cactus, I think.

There used to be nice women's tights, made in Israel and exported, which had the brand name Sabra: the explanation was that it meant 'an Israeli who was born in Israel ... not an immigrant'. A good orange and chocolate liqueur had the same name! The cactus is I think the prickly pear or cactus pear ... which is American ... but no doubt naturalised in Israel as it is in my country and many other places.
