My name is also Saraih spelled with an 'h' at the end.I used to hate my name when I was younger. We moved from Chile and it seemed no one could pronounce my name correctly they would pronounce it Sahrahya and it it pronounced Sahdaee.. any way I now just go by Sari- makes things easier- I also named my daughter Israel and everybody loves it- we looked in the ssn database and there are no girls with that name in the US.some biblical names are beautiful so much history and cool meanings!

Is it popular? I wanted to name our daughter that. We still don't have a set name yet since my husband doesn't agree with me on Sarai. But I like unusual biblical names. Our two sons have biblical names also.
