I am not aware that Sadie is an Arabic corruption of Sara because in Arabic, Sara is Sara. However, Sadie may have been the name Saadiyyeh = happy or bringer of happiness. This name would be difficult to teach to a non Arab and one can see it become simply Sadie or something like that. There may be other possibilities as well. I believe it possible that in old English or Gaelic the spelling could be quite different even if the phonetique is almost identic. My Mother and Grandmother were called Sadie.
I really love this name. It could also be an English form of the Arabic name Sadia (supposed to be pronounced sah-dee-uh, can be pronounced say-dee-uh too).
