What is the meaning of the name Sadiq ?

The baby name Sadiq is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sah-DEEK; Arabic: Ṣādiq [ˈsˤɑː.diq].

Sadiq is Arabic in Origin.

Sadiq (Arabic: صادق/صديق) is a masculine name from the triliteral root Ṣ-D-Q, signifying truthfulness and fidelity. Depending on vocalization, it denotes “truthful, sincere” (ṣādiq) or “loyal friend/companion” (ṣadīq), senses that often merge in personal-name use across Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and related languages.

As an honorific, al-Sadiq has long marked upright character; the renowned 8th‑century scholar Ja‘far al‑Ṣādiq cemented the name’s prestige, aiding its spread from the early Islamic era through Ottoman and South Asian cultures to modern communities worldwide (e.g., London mayor Sadiq Khan). Common variants and transliterations include Sadik (Turkish/Balkan), Sadeq (Gulf/Levant), Sadegh (Persian), Sadeek (phonetic), and the cognate form Siddiq/Siddique (intensive pattern). Feminine counterparts are Sadiqa/Sadeqa/Sadeeqa. The name conveys reliability, honesty, and steadfast friendship - qualities prized in both devotional and everyday contexts.
