From Sidon
Sidonia is a girl’s name that historically refers to someone “from Sidon.” Drawn from Latin, it’s used as an alternative to Sidonius, which was popularized by a Gallo-Roman saint, poet, and bishop. Not only was Sidonius Apollinaris a figure of immense faith in Catholic teaching, but he also had great power and compassion. He’s even said to have used his wealth to better the lives of those in need. If your tot turns out just as committed to a mighty cause, teach them to turn their passion into action with sweet yet empowering Sidonia.
