About Shadrack
A variation of Shadrach, an old Akkadian name borne by the Babylonian god of the moon. It appears in the Old Testament, as the Babylonian name of Hananiah (who was saved by God from a burning furnace).
The Shadrack spelling is used by Toni Morrison in her novel, Sula making this a Biblical, literary, and moon-related name. That could make Shadrack a winning name in theory, though both Shadrack and Shadrach have only ever been used quietly in the US.
Pronounced SHAD-rak.
As of October 2026, Shadrack ranked #11795 for boys in US births in 2020 SSA, peaked at #3652 for boys in 1973.
