Meaning & origin
Nadra is a rare name with Arabic origins, meaning 'rare' or 'precious.' Although it first appeared in U.S. records in 1934, its peak year was 1976. Since 2014, its usage has been declining. The name has never cracked the top 1000, but it offers a distinctive choice for those seeking an uncommon name. It has no strong association with any particular U.S. state.
Nadra is likely derived from the Arabic word 'nadira' (نادرة), meaning 'rare' or 'precious.' It is also occasionally considered a variant of the Latin 'Nadira' or a feminine form of 'Nadir.' The name has been used sparingly in English-speaking countries since the early 20th century, with a modest peak in the 1970s.
