History & Origin

Sidni is an inventive respelling of Sydney, an English surname and place name meaning roughly 'wide meadow'. It rode the strong 1990s wave that turned Sydney into a favorite girl's name; unlike its parent, Sidni stayed very rare, appearing by mid-century and peaking around 1995.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its height, so a Sidni from that peak would be in her twenties today. As a spelling twist on a name that is itself cooling, it reads as a period variant more than a rising choice.

Did you know? Sidni is one of the many creative spellings that arrived as Sydney surged for girls in the 1990s.
