Sariah is a female name of American origin, meaning "Princess." In the Book of Mormon, Sariah was the wife of Lehi and the mother of Laman, Lemuel, Sam, Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph. She demonstrated faith and resilience during her family's journey from Jerusalem into the wilderness and eventually to the Americas. Sariah's faith is contrasted with the doubt of her sons, Laman and Lemuel, and she is noted for her unwavering belief in her husband's prophetic calling. Scholars suggest that Sariah would have played a vital role in managing the family's travels and responsibilities, including food gathering, childbirth support, and tent setup. The name Sariah may also mean "Jehovah is Prince" or "Princess of Jehovah" in Hebrew. Several poems have been written about Sariah, reflecting her cultural reception and significance.
