Sariah is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin. This name, which translates to “princess" or "God is ruler," has deep roots in Biblical tradition. Sariah also appears in the Book of Mormon as one of the principal ancestors of the Mormon people, alongside her husband Lehi. According to the Biblical telling, Sariah traveled alongside her husband through the wilderness to the Americas, regarded as the promised land by followers of the Latter Day Saint movement.
