What does Sidra mean?
A lote tree; a kind of jujube
In Turkish: sidre ağacı; bir tür hünnap
Sidra primarily names a tree, with a religious association strengthened by the Quranic expression Sidrat al-Muntaha. Islamic tradition connects that expression with a heavenly boundary. Sidra and Sidre derive from the same word; translating the name simply as paradise would obscure both its botanical meaning and its particular religious context.
The ending “-ra” is a shared final sound rather than a meaningful suffix in Zehra, Azra and Esra. Their meanings come from the whole name, not the final two letters. More girl names ending in -ra →
