The Sanskrit Origin of the word Sidi - from Siddhi - is highly debatable. It is certainly incorrect and there are no references quoted. I am removing this piece of misinformation. Given that this is a title widely used in semitic cultures across North Africa and West Asia, it is highly unlikely that it bears any relation with 'Siddhi' in Sanskrit.

Not Sidi, but Sayyidi

As far as I know the word "Sayyidi" (My Master) which comes from "Sayyid" (Master) + "i" (Arabic extension, meaning:of mine) has no relation with Sidi. The only thing Sidi can be, as I guess, is a mispronunciation of "Sayyidi" written in Arabic(سیدی), although, the reader must be really illiterate and have no clue about Arabic.--Lord'sServant (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Siddi has always been used in the maghreb to refer to elders and noble people for example we can say " siddi youcef" there are also places with names that start with siddi. Takamatbent123 (talk) 14:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
