Genesis17:15
15 And God said unto Abraham, as for Sarai thy Wife, thou shalt not call her Name Sarai, but Sarah shall her Name be.
Sarai signifies my Lady or my Princess, which confines her dominion to one Family, but Sarah signifies either a Lady or Princess simply and absolutely without restriction, or, the Princess of a multitude, the Hebrew letter he being taken out of Hamon, and added to her Name, as it was to Abrams Name.
