Rare spellings summarised here: Saretta (79), Saretha (33), Zarita (14), Sareeta (7), Saritha (6), Sarata (6), Saratha (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
