This name is strange for me, though I like the meaning and sounding. Besides, "Sahar" means "sugar" in Russian language.

Sahar is a name used in many different countries from the Middle East. Factually it is both an Arabic, and Persian name. Often people from one culture are only aware of its use within their own culture, and therefor think it a factual claim. To stay factually accurate on the subject, it is a name used in multiple cultures. The meaning is "just before dawn" in Arabic. I am of both Arabic and Persian cultures as well as a professional linguist, and this is what we have been taught in the study of language and history. Cheers!

Sahar is also an Urdu given name, and Sahar is also used as a masculine name in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine", and the "Usage" of this name should be changed to read, "Arabic, Persian, Urdu".

I think this is a lovely name and while I've only ever met one person with the name, I've never thought about how it could be read as Sarah even if they are anagrams.

"Seher" is a Turkish form of this name. [noted -ed]

The name is originally derived from Persian mythology. She was basically a demigod Sahar and her brother Satar. One to rule the ocean and one to rule the skies. Sahar in Persian translates to dawn, it is used in arabic and in Hebrew as well. It was DERIVED from Persian mythology. There are more to a country's culture, people and language than what wikipedia says or the internet. I am Persian thru and thru, I've read many many books not even allowed in the states that would teach anyone who was interested more about my country. With that being said, we should all get along and learn about each other and not argue arab vs. Hebrew vs. Persian. Each side is valid as languages evolve.

Arabic is in the same language family as Hebrew (Semitic). Being in the same language family means having many essential structures being similar. On the other hand Persian is an Indo-European language which has completely different structure than the Semitic language and it is similar to Indo-European languages such as Hindi, Greek or even English (if we consider the part of English that is originated from Latin). SAHAR is a Semitic word mostly known as (Dawn). Persian and Arabs have been communicating with each other for a long time (since these two countries are really close to each other) and with the entrance of Islam and Arabic language to Persian Culture we can estimate that this word enters Persian language through Arabic language. I am sure that a lot of Persians think that it is Persian but it is not since the word for dawn in Persian language is ( Sepideh {pronounce as : Se-pee-de})

This is a pretty name!

My stepmom has an Egyptian friend named Sahar. I've always thought the name was really pretty, but growing up all the teachers mispronounced/misspelled her name as "Sarah." I imagine that gets annoying.

This is an anagram of Sarah.

Argue all you like, this is the linguistic evidence:
Hebrew IS a middle-eastern language, most closely related to Arabic. Sahar means a time just before dawn in Arabic (fajr being dawn), but in North African Arabic Sahar means wilderness/desert, hence Sahara desert. Sahar is a borrowed Arabic word which is also used in Persian and means dawn. Sahar is used poetically in Hebrew to refer to the crescent moon. (in Arabic/Urdu this is Shahar, which means dawn in Hebrew! As the two words Shahar and Sahar moon/dawn are cleary related.)

I should also add the pronunciation is sa-HAR with a highly aspirated H sound (puff of air), and in typical Arabic the r is rolled.

According to Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew-English dictionary, the word Sahar (sin-hei-reysh) means "moon" in Hebrew. Of course, often sound combinations/words are used in different languages for different meanings.

It's NOT Hebrew. Even though it might mean "something" in Hebrew it's Middle Eastern. And Persian, Arabic same thing, the language is pretty much the same. And it is of Middle Eastern origin! There!

Even though they are not the same they are kind of alike, my mom learned Persian and she said it was like some other Middle Eastern language, I don't know if it was Arabic, sorry.

My name is Sahar, and it is a Persian name, not Arabic. "SEHR" means "bewitchery" in Arabic not "sahar".

Can also mean "bewitching" in Arabic
