History and Origin
Sorcha is a Gaelic feminine given name. It is both Irish and Scottish Gaelic, and is derived from a Gaelic word meaning "brightness". In Ireland, because Sorcha is pronounced "surra-kha", the name has been considered as a Gaelic form of the etymologically unrelated name Sarah, and in consequence Sorcha has been Anglicised as Sally, Sarah. The name Sarah is a Biblical name, meaning "princess"; Sally is a pet form of this name. In Scotland, Sorcha has been Anglicised as Clara. The English Clara is derived from the Latin clarus, meaning "bright", "famous". Sorcha can also be pronounced "sor-ka", and "sir-ka". This beautiful name can be pronounced many different ways.
The name is commonly confused with both the masculine Seoirse (pronounced shor-sha) and vocabulary word-turned-girls' name Saoirse (seer-sha) due to a combination of ignorance to the Irish language and the unfamiliar spelling.
Irish and Scottish Gaelic name derived from an Old Celtic element meaning ‘brightness’. In Ireland it has long been considered a Gaelic form of Sarah, and Anglicized as Sarah and Sally, but this is based on no more than a slight phonetic similarity. In Scotland the meaning of the name has resulted in its being translated as Clara.
