Sadraddin is Arabic in Origin.

Sadraddin is an Arabic–Persian compound given name formed from sadr (“foremost, chief”) and al-dīn (“the faith”), conveying “foremost of the faith,” “preeminent in religion,” or “leader of the faith.” In classical Arabic it appears as Sadr al-Dīn; regional transliterations include Sadruddin and Sadr-ud-Din (Urdu/Persian), Sadreddin or Sadrüddin (Turkish), and Sadriddin (Tajik/Central Asian).

Long used as an honorific for scholars, jurists, and Sufi masters, it was borne by Sadr al-Dīn al-Qūnawī (13th-century mystic-philosopher) and Sadr al-Dīn Muḥammad Shīrāzī, known as Mullā Ṣadrā (17th-century Iranian philosopher), and in modern times by Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. The name remains current across Arabic-speaking countries, Iran, Turkey, South Asia, and Central Asia. Short calling forms include Sadr and Din. Spelling variation reflects whether the Arabic definite article al- is written or assimilated (ad-Dīn), the linking hyphen or spacing, and adaptation to local phonology.
