Sarah is commonly written שרה. From right to left, the letters are ש shin, ר resh, and ה he.
The spelling is a name convention, not a letter-by-letter transliteration of English. That is why the result can look shorter than the Latin spelling. Learn the letters in the alphabet pronunciation guide, then practise the full name in the name tool.
For a tattoo, legal document, or family record, confirm the spelling with a fluent Hebrew speaker. A useful learner tool can offer a conventional spelling, but it cannot decide someone's official name.
