Many thanks to irene, who had things about her name on her own domain, and had listed some nifty sites and generators that I made use of. :) However, to be a bit different, I have included some of my own ideas.
As she has done also, my thoughts on each analysis are written in italics.
The etymology of a name is its linguistic and cultural origins. This information was provided with the help of behind the name.
SARAH (pronounced SER-a) - Hebrew spelling שָׂרָה
Sarah is a Jewish name, and is a Hebrew word given to a woman of high social status - loosely translated as "Princess" or "Lady." According to Hebrew and Christian tradition, this was the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament of the Bible. She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was originally Sarai, but God changed it in Genesis 17:15. Famous people in more recent history who go by the name of Sarah include the actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sarah Bernhardt, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
KATRINE (pronounced ka-TREEN)
Katrine is the Germanic and Scandinavian contraction of the English name Katherine (which originates in Greece as Αικατερινη {Aikaterine}.) The Romans associated it with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. Another saint by this name was Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.

You're in dire need to be understood, approved, and appreciated. Your sorrow is immense when you think you've displeased those whose esteem for you is, in a way, your reason for living. Being a tender, sensitive soul and a charming personality, you attach the greatest price to the opinion of others. This can render you sensitive to flattery; this can also at times incite you to a kind of inconsequence (in order to preserve harmony with those you love) as you refrain from asserting yourself, and as your passive tolerance finally results in certain compromising.
WOW - that really is very accurate. The smallest compliment can mean so much to me. I also try and come to as much of a compromise as possible in all situations and disputes. I really do love being appreciated and when someone understands me, I feel very much more at ease than otherwise.
You're mostly moved by altruistic (selfless), idealistic (morally-driven), or philanthropic (charitable) tendencies. Beauty under all its forms attracts you whereas violence and disorder appall you. As a general rule, people bearing this first name are those who act with heart and discernment, who strive to live well, who like their neighbors and sincerely want to make this world better. They also have a very serene attitude toward death and the beyond.
I would say I have to agree here - I don't really consider myself a very selfish person, and I strive to do things for other people rather than for myself. I'm very easily upset when things become unsettled and violent situations frighten me easily. I'd like to make a difference in this life, but I am not afraid of death - it does not really concern me much.
You like people as they are - with their qualities as well as their defects, their greatnesses as well as their weaknesses. Gentle, affable, easy to live with, you know how to lend an attentive ear to others and, if necessary, to give them judicious counsel.
I think I'm a good listener and that I give good, fair, honest advice. I also consider myself somewhat companionable. I try my best to embrace people's less "pretty" aspects as well as their charms and merits. No one's perfect, after all.
Perspicacity (acute understanding) is probably your most striking character trait. Endowed with a penetrating and subtle mind, you enjoy a direct access to the heart of things, and thus you regularly hit upon ideas of genius or fantastic visions. Always in advance of the times, you often appear as quite a character, at times as an eccentric, and sometimes create a scandal, being a victim of misunderstanding.
I'm often misunderstood because I'm definitely an "eccentric" person. However, as analysed here, I am a good judge of character and find myself very understanding, observant and perceptive.
One could, however, reproach you for your excessive vanity. You like to take care meticulously of your appearance, you dress yourself with style and ostentation, you use perfumes and other tricks. Your exaggeration in elegance and your narcissism constitute one of the clearly negative aspects of your personality.
Sadly, this is probably true. I'm very self-conscious about my appearance... ...I think sometimes I am too high-maintenence in that respect for my own good!
You've a constant need to express yourself, to meet new faces, or quite simply to dream, and could not adapt yourself to routine or a strict discipline.
Routines and discipline tend to just piss me off. I like change and expression.
There exists in you sure tendencies to morbid introspection and depression. You could be hardly conscious of them, or else they could not have, until now, had an occasion to manifest themselves. But an unhappy combination of circumstances could cause them to emerge and cause havoc.
In an emotional crisis, I do tend to become self-examining, contemplative and depressive - call it "emo", if you will. *lol* People worry I will do something stupid if I end up being upset about things enough, and I can't say I blame them, really - though it's been a fair while since I did anything even remotely close to that.

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
