Connection: Quranic word · Quran reference 71:16
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
Siraj سراج means a lamp. Sarraj سرّاج, a maker or seller of saddles, has a different vowel and doubled r; ordinary unvowelled writing can hide this distinction.
