Meaning & origin

Sidrah is a name rooted in Islamic tradition, referring to the lote tree of Paradise. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1988 and reached its peak rank of 8,362 in 2019, though its popularity has since declined.

Sidrah is derived from the Arabic word 'sidr', referring to the lotus tree. In Islamic tradition, it is the Sidrat al-Muntaha, a lote tree that marks the boundary of the seventh heaven.
