Two of my great-great-great-grandparents had the wonderful names of Batson(m) and Savory(f) Blunt. Batson's mother's maiden surname was Batson, so his name is easy to explain. However, it seems that Savory's real name was Saberah, or Sabra (she had a daughter christened Sabra). Does anyone know the origins of this name? (It is not a unique occurrence, as far as I can see from a quick internet search...)
