Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Sidón je slovenskou podobou latinského mena Sidonius, ktoré pokračuje v gréckom mene Sidónios. Pôvodne išlo o obyvateľské označenie vo význame „pochádzajúci zo Sidónu“ alebo „Sidónčan“, utvorené podľa názvu starovekého fenického mesta Sidón, dnešnej Saidy v Libanone. Výklad názvu mesta ako „miesto rybolovu“ je tradičný, jeho presná fénická etymológia však nie je spoľahlivo objasnená.
