Etymology: From Proto-Semitic *śahr- (“moon”). Compare Aramaic סהרא (sahrā, “moon”), Arabic شَهْر (šahr, “month, new moon”), Old South Arabian 𐩦𐩠𐩧 (s²hr, “beginning of the lunar month”), Ge'ez ሣህር (śahr, “moon, first day of the month”). Possibly initially a dominant form of סַהַר. The form שַׂהַר survived through its derived term, שַׂהֲרוֹן (saharón, śahărṓn, “an ornament shaped like a small moon”, literally “little moon”).
