Blooming flower or radiance
Zarah is a name with dual roots, most commonly associated with the Arabic word for a blooming flower. In a Hebrew context, it is a variation of Zerah, meaning 'radiance' or 'shining light,' appearing in the Old Testament. It offers a more exotic and rare alternative to the popular Sarah or Zara.
