For the little one who has an unyielding hold on your heart, consider the feminine name Saraya. Just as there are many sides to your little Saraya’s personality, their name also has several possible meanings and origins. Saraya may derive from the Hebrew name Sáray, meaning “releaser,” so perhaps baby will remind you to let go of any stresses or worries and focus on enjoying every day. Other sources link Saraya to another Hebrew name, Seraiah, which translates to “Yahweh is ruler.” As little Saraya grows up, it may feel like they’re changing every day, but just remember, even though their name means “change” in Japanese, the love you share will always stay the same.
