Sahar (Template:Lang-ar, Template:Lang-he) is a feminine given name. The name is used by Arabic, Azeri, Turkish, Hebrew, Urdu, Pashto and Persian speakers (most commonly used in Afghanistan and Iran). "Seher" is the way it would be commonly spelled in Turkey and Azerbaijan. In Arabic, the name means "just before dawn", coming from a common Semitic root meaning "dawn" (compare with Shahar, the Ugaritic god of the dawn). The origin of the Hebrew name is an ancient Akkadian word for the crescent moon.[1]
