SARAI | SARAIS

You will be, very rare, is typical of Samugheo in Oristano, Sarais instead is well diffused in Cagliari, should derive from the old name Villa Sarai that existed in Sulcis. Additions provided by Giuseppe Concas SARAI; Sarais: Meaning and Etymon of the two surnames, remain unclear: one can only think that the second is the plural of the first, but it is not taken for granted! In Sardinia There is the word sarau, which means "Tripudio", Scialo, Festa, that here in Campidano we call Sciarò; Make a charò = do Sciala, Scialo, Festa. Sarau derives from the Catalan Sarau or the Spanish Sarao: Reunion nocturna en que hay baile. Or it could derive from Sarrani or Sarani (in phonetic language > Sarâi) or Serrans = Serrano common (fish). Sarais is also the name of a missing village, also called Sarrasi, located in the agro of Genic, in locality Sessiri. As a medieval villa, "Bidda", belonged to the Curadorìa of Siurgus, in the judicial realm of Cagliari. From 1324 belonged to the Catalan reign Aragonese of Sardinia. He went depopulating from the early decades of the FIFTEENTH century and was later finally abandoned. Sarai is also a locality and a mountain in the countryside of Carbonia, better known as Monte Sirai, home of the most striking Carthaginian settlement in Sardinia. Sarais is, on top of that, the name of a hill and a nuragh of the territory of Guspini. Canon Giovanni Spano derives the entry "Sarais" (of the Nuraghe) from the Phoenician = House of the Prince. For now we know nothing more. As surname we find him among the signatories of the Peace of Eleanor, LPDE of 1388: You will be Joanne, ville Açàra, * Açàra. Today's Atzàra. -Mandrolisay and Barbagia of Belvì. Currently the surname Sarai is present in 20 Italian municipalities, of which 9 in Sardinia: Samugheo 26, Oristano 18, Asuni 12, Quartu 11, etc. Sarais is present in 56 Italian municipalities, of which 35 in Sardinia: Cagliari 40, Siliqua 35, Ussana 28, Iglesias 27, etc.
