In the United States, its usage has maintained a steady presence in the Social Security Administration’s annual lists since the late 1980s, typically ranking between 800 and 960; its most notable peak occurred in 2019 with twenty-five registered newborns at position 919, and as of 2024, fifteen newborns bore the name, placing it at 935th. This consistency suggests that Sidrah appeals to parents seeking a distinctive yet accessible name that bridges cultural heritage and modern sensibilities.
