Etymology
From Arabic سَيِّدُنَا (sayyidunā, literally “our master”), used among Arabic-speaking Muslims as a general title for prophets and saints. After rechristianization it was probably identified with Latin dominus (noster) and therefore restricted to Jesus. Analyzable as sid + -na.
Pronunciation
Proper noun
Sidna m
- (Christianity) Our Lord (honorific title of Jesus Christ).
Usage notes
- As in English, the title usually precedes Sidna Ġesù (“Our Lord Jesus”), but follows Kristu Sidna (“Christ Our Lord”).
- Rarely used on its own, where usually it is il-Mulej (“the Lord”).
