Meaning & Origin
Siraj is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the Arabic sirāj (سراج) meaning 'lamp' or 'torch' — the light that illuminates darkness, used in the Quran to describe the Prophet Muhammad as a 'radiant lamp' (Siraj-ul-Munir).
Siraj carries one of the Quran's most beautiful descriptions of the Prophet — a lamp that brings light to the world. In Muslim communities, naming a son Siraj is an act of profound devotion, wishing him to be a light for others. It's compact, luminous, and deeply meaningful.
