Shadrach is a name of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name Sedrach (שדרך), which means "the command of Aku" or "the command of the moon god." The name is most famously associated with one of the three Hebrew men who were thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon for refusing to worship his golden idol, as recounted in the biblical Book of Daniel. In this narrative, Shadrach, along with Meshach and Abednego, emerges unharmed from the furnace, demonstrating their faith in God. The name Shadrach is also found in other ancient texts and inscriptions, indicating its use in various cultural contexts. In Arabic, the name is translated as Sedrach (سدراخ), and in Greek, it appears as Sedrach (Σεδραχ). The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego has been a subject of artistic and literary works throughout history, emphasizing themes of faith, courage, and divine intervention.

Meshach is a name of Hebrew origin, often associated with one of the three Hebrew men who were thrown into a fiery furnace for refusing to worship an idol ordered by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, as recounted in the biblical Book of Daniel. The name is traditionally believed to be derived from the Hebrew phrase mishakh (משך), meaning "guest" or "visitor." In the biblical narrative, Meshach, along with his companions Shadrach and Abednego, demonstrated unwavering faith and were miraculously saved from the flames. The name Meshach is also transliterated as Mishak in some contexts. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, Meshach is rendered as Μισαχ (Misach). The name holds significant religious and cultural importance, particularly within Judaism and Christianity, symbolizing faith and divine protection. In modern Hebrew, the name is still used, though it is relatively uncommon.
