History: Sarah became one of Ireland's most popular names from the 1980s onward, frequently topping the birth charts through the Celtic Tiger years. While biblical in origin, it was embraced across Ireland from the terraces of Croke Park to classrooms in every county. The name appealed to Irish parents seeking something both classic and contemporary during a period of rapid modernisation. Sarah is found in birth registers from the Rotunda in Dublin to maternity wards in Galway and Cork.
