Sadrac is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Shadrach, a name from the Hebrew Bible (Book of Daniel). Shadrach was the Babylonian name given to Hananiah, one of the three young men thrown into the fiery furnace. The name is believed to derive from Akkadian Šudur-Aku, meaning 'command of Aku', referencing the Mesopotamian moon god. The spelling Sadrac follows the Vulgate and later Romance language traditions.
