What is the meaning of the name Siti ?

The baby name Siti is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEE-tee (IPA: /ˈsiːti/; Malay/Indonesian: /ˈsiti/).

Siti is Indonesian, Malay in Origin.

Siti is a feminine name rooted in Arabic sitt/sittī, meaning “lady” or “my lady,” an honorific of respect. Through the spread of Islam, it entered Malay and related languages and became one of the most prevalent female names in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and Singapore; it is also familiar on the Swahili coast (e.g., Zanzibar) and among Muslim communities in the southern Philippines. First used as a courtesy title before women’s given names, it later solidified as a standalone personal name.

The meaning retains the sense of deference - akin to “Lady” - and often appears in compounds such as Siti Aisyah or Siti Fatimah. Variants and spellings include Sitti (common in the Philippines and as a transliteration of Arabic sittī) and Setti in some North African contexts. In several Arabic dialects, sitti is also used for “grandmother,” reflecting affectionate respect rather than a different etymology.
