Sydikum

German Etymology Generally explained as de nds süh dik um have a look around. This interpretation is definitely old and also confirmed by the High-Germanized equivalent de Siehdichum (name of a village in Brandenburg). Nevertheless, it might be that it is a folk etymology for an older unrelated name, particularly regarding the many placenames in de -um -home, -ham in the area. A possible origin would be an underlying de gml *Sûdinkhêm, from gml sût south; compare the northern German family name de Suding, Süding. Pronunciation de /ˈzyːdɪkʊm/ Proper noun toponym de A <<hamlet>>, officially a quarter of Braunschweig, <<s/Lower Saxony>>, <<c/Germany>>.
