Dictionary Meaning

What Sifeddine means

The Tunisian-French spelling of Sayf al-Dīn (سيف الدين) — 'sword of the religion'. The compound is one of the most weight-bearing of the medieval Islamic regnal names, given to military leaders who defended the faith. The name has been borne by sultans across the Mamluk, Ayyubid, and Ottoman dynasties.

Most prominently: Sayf al-Dīn Quṭuz (d. 1260) — the Mamluk sultan who, with his general Baybars, defeated the Mongol invasion of the Levant at the battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260, halting the Mongol advance into Egypt and saving the Islamic heartland from devastation. The battle is one of history's most consequential.

Sifeddine is specifically Tunisian; the Algerian and Levantine spellings are Saifeddine, Seifeddine, Saifuddin (South Asian). Variants: Sayfuddin, Saifuddin, Seifeddine, Sifeddine (Tunisian), Saifoddin. Same sword-imagery family: Husam (sword), Saif/Sayf, Sayfullah (sword of Allah). Pair-names: Yassine, Karim, Mohamed.
