Sahar (name)
Saher ( ar, سحر, he, סהר) is either a feminine given name of Arabic origin, common throughout the Persian-speaking and Muslim worlds, or unisex given name of Hebrew origin, used mainly in Israel. Though the Arabic and Hebrew names are phonologically identical and both derive from Semitic languages, they are nonetheless etymologically unrelated. In Arabic, the name means "just before dawn", coming from a common Semitic root meaning "dawn" (compare with Shahar, the Ugaritic god of the dawn). The origin of the Hebrew name is an ancient Akkadian word for the crescent moon. The Arabic-origin name is mainly used by Persian, Arabic, Azeri, Turkish, Urdu, and Pashto speakers. "Seher" is the way it would be commonly spelled in Turkey and Azerbaijan. Notable people with the name include: Given name * Sahar Baassiri, Lebanese journalist * Sahar Biniaz (born 1986), Canadian model * Sahar Delijani (born 1983), Iranian author * Sahar Dolatshahi (born 1979), Iranian actress * S ...
