The Story Behind Sidalia
Sidalia is a name with a somewhat obscure origin, often considered a variant or elaboration of names like Sidonie or Stella. The most commonly attributed meaning, 'star of the sea,' links it to the Latin word 'sidus' (star) and 'mare' (sea), or more directly to the title 'Stella Maris' for the Virgin Mary.
