Last name origins & meanings:
- German and Jewish (western Ashkenazic): habitational name from
any of various places called Saar, in particular one in western
Germany on the French border, which takes its name from the river on
which it stands. This is found in Latin sources as Saravus, and
ultimately goes back to an Indo-European root, ser-,
sar- ‘flow’.
- Dutch: from the Biblical female
personal name Sara.
- Jewish: from Hebrew saar
‘storm’, a translation of German Sturm, perhaps a nickname or
ornamental name.
