What is the meaning of the name Setrak ?

Setrak is Armenian in Origin.

Setrak (Armenian Սետրակ/Սեդրակ) is a masculine Armenian name, the Western Armenian form of Sedrak, equivalent to the biblical Shadrach. Through the Armenian liturgical tradition it traces to Biblical Aramaic Šadraḵ, itself from Akkadian Šudur-Aku, typically interpreted as “command of Aku” or “Aku has commanded,” Aku being the Mesopotamian moon god. The name thus carries connotations of divine decree, steadfastness, and faith under trial.

Usage is well established across Armenian communities from the medieval period onward, especially in the Middle East and diaspora, where the Three Holy Youths are honored in church calendars. Variants include Sedrak (Eastern Armenian), Setrag (alternative Western spelling), and the English biblical form Shadrach; short forms such as Seto also occur. Patronymic surnames like Setrakian/Setrakyan attest to its long-standing presence. While familiar within Armenian circles, Setrak remains distinctive internationally, offering heritage-rich depth with a crisp, dignified sound.
