Meaning & origin
Sadira is an uncommon name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1974. It reached its highest popularity in 2001, after which its usage declined steadily. The name's exact meaning is uncertain, but it may have Sanskrit roots suggesting 'lotus'. While never ranking among the top 1000 names, Sadira has a lyrical, exotic quality that appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name. It has been used sporadically across the country without strong regional concentration.
The name Sadira is of uncertain origin. It may be derived from the Sanskrit word 'sarojini' meaning lotus, or from 'sarira' meaning pond. It saw occasional use in the United States from the 1970s onward, possibly as a variant of Sadhira or as a modern coinage inspired by similar-sounding names. Its usage has declined since a peak in 2001.
