Needra

Needra is a modern name for girls. Needra resembles Nedra, which is considered an American name created by author George Barr McCutcheon for his novel Nedra. In this story, Nedra is the name of the island where the characters are based. Needra is also similar to Nidra, an Indian feminine title that means “sleep.” One of the epithets borne by the Hindu goddess Mahākālī, Nidra lends Needra a dash of divinity. Without knowing its true origin, Needra invites your little one to decide what their name means to them one day.
