History & Origin

Sedra is a variant of Sidra — from Arabic sidrah, the lote tree, most famously the Sidrat al-Muntaha, the celestial lote tree of the Quran's account of the Prophet's ascension. A serene, symbolic name across the Muslim world (also the name of a major Qatari institution).

In the U.S. it appears in Arab and Muslim families. Rare, heaven-tree at the root, and mystical.

Did you know? The Sidrat al-Muntaha — the lote tree behind Sedra — marks, in the Quran, the utmost boundary of the heavens, beyond which none may pass; a tree at the edge of the divine.
