Saara

   • 1776, The Holy Bible, Genesis 17:15:

     Ja Jumala sanoi Abrahamille: Saraita sinun emäntääs ei pidä sinun enää kutsuman Sarai; vaan Saara pitää oleman hänen nimensä.

   • 1977, Hannu Aho, Saara, WSOY, →ISBN, page 7:

     Me sanoimme häntä Saaraksi, ja vasta paljon myöhemmin jossain vaiheessa kävi ilmi että se todella oli hänen nimensä. Pate se oli joka nimen keksi, Saara mustien hiusten takia: Musta Saara.

     We call her Saara, only to much later realize that it in fact was her real name. Pate was the one who came up with that name, Saara, due to her black hair: "black Saara".

   • 1982, Eeva Joenpelto, Elämän rouva, rouva Glad, WSOY, →ISBN, page 261:

     ―Onko se Saara vai Sara? ―Se Saara oli jotenkin niin―Tai minä vain rupesin kirjoittamaan Sara.

     ―Is it Saara or Sara? ―Saara was somehow so―or I just started writing Sara.

   • 2010, Peter Franzén, Tumman veden päällä, Tammi, →ISBN, page 245:

     Saara on nätti nimi ja niin on Saarakin, ajattelen, enkä muista koko päivästä mitään muuta.

     Saara is a nice name and so is Saara, I think and cannot remember anything else from that day.
