Thanks for specifying that you meant the wife of Abraham, because her name is usually spelled Sara or Sarah (originally Sarai).

The Bible is not terribly specific about who her parents were. In Genesis 20:12, Abraham claims that she is his half-sister, specifically saying that her father is the same as his (Terah), but nowhere is it mentioned who their respective mothers are (Abraham is very specific that they share a father but not a mother. However, he's just lied about her being his wife, so I for one am a little reluctant about simply taking his word for her being his sister at all... in Genesis 11 where she's introduced, it's as the daughter-in-law of Terah, not as his daughter.)

In the Talmud she's identified with Iscah, the daughter of Abraham's brother Haran, making her actually Abraham's niece.

Are the names Abah and Ishmael names from the bible?

Ishmael definitely is from the bible. It means, God hears. Ishmael was the son of Abraham that Hagar, his wife's servant, bore for him. When Abraham and his wife, Sarai, couldn't have children, Sarai gave Hagar to Abraham so that Abraham would at least have a child. Ishmael was the end result. I don't believe that Abah is a name from the bible, but Ahab (not Abah) was one of the most wicked kings of Israel from the Old Testament.
