Sorcha is a Gaelic feminine given name. It is common to both the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages, and is derived from the Old Irish word sorchae, soirche meaning "brightness".[1]
In Scotland, Sorcha has traditionally been Anglicised as Clara, which retains the name's Gaelic meaning: the English Clara is derived from the Latin clarus, meaning "bright", "famous".[2]
The variant pronunciation of this name as /ˈsɔːrʃə/ is due to confusion by English-speakers with Saoirse /ˈsɜːrʃə/, meaning "freedom".
