Name meaning and origin
Sidra is the name in Arabic of the lote tree with shady, thorny leaves, and this word is used in Surah An-Najm for the Sidrat al-Muntaha; the tree at the farthest boundary of the seventh heaven; that our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw on the night of the Miraj (An-Najm, 53:14, 53:16). Since the tree marks the final boundary that not even angels can cross, it carries profound spiritual meaning.
As a name, Sidra has come into use both in the Arabic world and, in recent years, in Azerbaijan thanks to growing interest in Quran-themed names. Since its religious origin is clear, there is no obstacle to giving the name.
