Sarai in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Abraham's wife Sarah was renamed "Sarai" when God promised to give her a child at her advanced age. Although she initially scoffed at the promise, God was faithful and provided a son.

That tells the story of Abram’s call to leave his homeland and travel to a new land. Is that the one you’re after?
Hey can you please tell me what Sarai and Sarah means?
i have heard somewhere that sarai has some relation to the word “quarrelsome” but am trying to find that reference again. It also is a name that relates to Babylonian for the moon and cults related to the moon.
Here it is:
SARAI
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Biblical
Other Scripts: שָׂרָי (Ancient Hebrew)
Pronounced: SER-ie (English) [key]
Possibly means “contentious” in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, this was Sarah’s name before God changed it (see Genesis 17:15).
Genesis chapter 12 begins Abram’s call to leave the land of Ur for the place that God would show him that was Canaan. Abram’s wife’s name was “Sarai” which God changed to Sarah when he changed Abram’s name to Abraham. The names were changed to reflect parenthood of nations (Genesis chapter 17).
