Wide island or south of the water
A feminine variant of Sydney, derived from the Old English words 'sid' meaning wide and 'eg' meaning island or water meadow. It is also historically associated with the French place name Saint-Denis. While the 'y' spelling is more common, this 'ie' ending adds a softer, more diminutive feel.
