Sydnee

Meaning of Sydnee

Sydnee is a feminine given name, pronounced sih-DNEE (/sɪdˈniː/). It originated as an alternate spelling of Sydney—an Old English place name meaning “wide island” later shaped by the French veneration of St. Denis—and gained particular appeal among Latin American communities in the United States seeking a melodious yet modern variant. First appearing in U.S. birth records in the mid-1940s, its popularity rose through the 1990s and early 2000s, peaking in 2003 at rank 481 with 506 newborns named Sydnee. Since then it has trended downward, falling to rank 939 with just 11 occurrences in 2024, but it remains a distinctive choice for parents drawn to its blend of familiar heritage and contemporary flair.
