Sirat
A girl's name of Arabic origin with 85 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 85 babies have been named Sirat in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
In the most recent SSA release, Sirat ranks #10145 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Sirat is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin meaning 'path,' 'way,' or 'course,' from the Arabic sirāt (صراط). In Islamic theology, al-Sirāt al-Mustaqīm — 'the straight path' — is one of the most fundamental concepts in the Quran, the prayer for divine guidance recited in every Muslim's daily prayers (Surah Al-Fatiha).
Sirat carries profound religious significance in Islam — a name that is quite literally a daily prayer. For Muslim families, it's a name that embodies the aspiration for a righteous, guided life.
EtymologyShow more
Sirat first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2012. A twenty-first-century entry, Sirat belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Arabic classification suggests a path from arabic linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
