Idrah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Idrah

What is the meaning of the name Idrah ?

The baby name Idrah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ID-rah (approx. IPA: /ˈɪdrɑː/ or /ˈɪdrə/).

Idrah is Aramaic in Origin.

Idrah is a rare cross-cultural given name most often linked to Aramaic idra (אִדְרָא), meaning “threshing floor” and, by metaphor, “circle” or “assembly” - a term known from the Zohar’s Idra Rabba and Idra Zuta. In modern Hebrew usage it carries a contemplative, communal nuance. In Arabic-speaking contexts, Idrah is sometimes interpreted as a creative feminine form echoing the root idrāk (إدراك, “perception, understanding”), yielding an aspirational sense of “insight” - an association rather than a strict etymology.

Documented as a modern given name from the late 20th century onward, Idrah remains uncommon yet internationally intelligible, and is typically chosen for girls though it can be unisex. Variants and near-variants include Idra, Idhra, Idraa, and Adra (the latter etymologically separate in many cases). Related phonetic cousins - Indra or Edra - occur in other traditions but do not share the same root.
