      The name Sydni originated from French and is a contracted form of St. Denys. St. Denys, also known as Denis or Dionysius, was a Christian martyr and the patron saint of France. Born in Italy during the 3rd century, St. Denys became the first bishop of Paris. He was known for his missionary work in the region and was subsequently decapitated for his faith in the year 258.

In medieval times, it was common for parents to name their children after saints to seek their protection and guidance. The name Sydni has since transcended its religious origins and gained popularity as a given name in the English-speaking world.
