Nidra
Meaning of Nidra
Nidra carries a whisper of moonlit calm and dawn-lit promise, its roots in the Sanskrit word for “sleep” or “dream” lending it a poetic air of serene imagination. Though it has always been a quietly rare choice, Nidra briefly graced U.S. baby name charts in the late 1970s and early ’80s—peaking in 1981 with fifteen little girls who would grow up carrying this gentle, evocative moniker. Parents drawn to Nidra often envision a child with a dreamer’s heart and a peaceful spirit, someone who can find wonder in stillness and courage in quiet moments. Like a soft lullaby or a secret shared under the stars, the name Nidra inspires thoughts of restful beauty and boundless possibility—plus the occasional lighthearted tease about whether their daughter will lead a grand adventure or sneak in a cozy nap. In choosing Nidra, families celebrate the magic of dreams and the calm confidence that comes from knowing sometimes the greatest journeys begin with a single, whispered wish.
