Sidse as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sidse

What is the meaning of the name Sidse ?

The baby name Sidse is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SID-sah.

Sidse is Danish, Latin in Origin.

Sidse is a Danish pet form shaped by the familiar -se ending found in short names such as Sisse. The chain runs through Danish Sidsel and Sisse to Latin Caecilia, the feminine of the Roman nomen Caecilius. Caecilius is built on Latin caecus, blind, with the gentilic suffix -ilius; the literal sense attached to the name is therefore blind.

In Denmark, Sidse belongs to the native family of Cecilia forms rather than to a separate Scandinavian root. The wider name gained Christian currency through Saint Cecilia, the Roman martyr later revered as patron of music, while Danish usage produced Cæcilie, Cecilie, Sidsel, and Sisse. The spelling is uncommon outside Denmark, though actress Sidse Babett Knudsen, known internationally from Borgen, has made it more recognizable to non-Danish audiences.
