History & Origin

Sadira appeared in American records from the mid nineteen-seventies, part of a wider interest in Arabic and Persian names, and reached its quiet high around 2001.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak. A girl named Sadira then would be in her twenties today. The name offers a soft, exotic sound with a genuine link to the lotus tree of Middle Eastern tradition.

Did you know? The sidr or lotus tree is valued across Arabic and Persian tradition for its shade and shelter, which gives the name a calm, protective feel; some sources also attach it to a named star.
