STABLE GIRL · PERSIAN, FORM OF SIDRA
🇮🇷

Sadira

/sa · DEE · ra/


“Possibly 'lote tree'”

Sadira is the Persian form of Sidra, a name possibly linked to the Sidr, a tree known in English as the lote tree (Ziziphus spina-christi). In the Quran, the Sidrat al-Muntaha - the 'Sidr tree of the farthest boundary' - marks the edge of the seventh heaven, the point no angel or prophet passes beyond.

How it ages.

A rare Persian form of Sidra - elegant and a little mysterious, with a botanical meaning that gives it more depth than most exotic-sounding names.

The cultural moment.

Rare; mostly used in Persian-speaking families, so it reads as distinctive rather than familiar.
