Connection: Quranic word · Quran reference 53:14

Read the linked verse for the Quranic connection. The meaning and spelling notes explain the name itself; a word in the Quran is not necessarily the name of a person mentioned there.

Language and spelling

Sidrah سِدْرَة is the single-tree form of sidr سدر. Quran 53:14 uses the tree word, not a personal name. Sidra is also attested as a modern feminine personal name; that usage is distinct from the botanical word and does not narrow it to one claimed scientific species.
