What was Sarah's real name?

Well, I hope you have seen how I change names from paleo Hebrew back to Bantu dialects in the previous posts. My one and only guidance is the meaning of he names. 

If the meaning is not given, I try to see what the name rhymes with or which letters are common between paleo and bantu. As we continue, you will soon realize that there are lot of mismatches. 

Coming to Sarah's name. Let us get to the meanings too so that you can see the mismatch.

According to the bible God changed Sarah's name from Sarai Genesis 17:15 - God also said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.

Sarai meaning is not given and Sarah means princess. 

What do I think her names mean, I think she was called princess and then breed. I know the name ''breed'' does not sound special. But to open her womb God had to call her with the verb that will bring forth children. 

Let us look at both names in Bantu

Princess in Zulu is Nkosazane

I suspect Nko was removed completely to leave Sazane. Then the next step was to remove e to get Sazan. The next step was change Z to R to get Saran. No wonder it is written as Sarah. 

What about Zalani in Zulu. 

I am sure if you don't know the language, all this is just confusing. So Sarai would be achieved like this - first change z to s from ZALANI to SALANI. Next change L to R like this - SARANI. Last thing is just remove N and be left with SARAI.

I know it would take a lot of effort but I really believe our languages have only evolved based on new words and borrowed words. I don't see how a whole nation can forget its language just like that. So my conclusion is that the original words were scrambled in the re-packaged bible.

So Sarah is princess coming from Nkosazane and Sarai comes from breed which is Zalani. 
Conclusion Sarah was changed not Sarai. She was Sarah changed to Sarai.

I suspect Abraham and Sarah were a power couple called 'Zalani Abantu' (Sarai - Abram) (wrong spellings) meaning be fruitful


Clearly the celebs joining names today try to do this. LOL
