Sideris Family History

Greek: shortened and altered form of the personal name Isidōros (see Isidore) altered by folk etymology as if derived from sidero ‘iron’.

Classical Greek sidēron is the root word, which leads to this interpretation.

As a result, the name is regarded as an omen or well-wishing name.

The meaning can be understood as ‘may the child grow up to be as strong as iron’.

This reflects the cultural significance of strength and durability associated with iron in Greek tradition.
