alSadiq

Alsadiq is a transliteration of the Arabic name الصادق, meaning "the truthful" or "the honest." The form with the definite article Al- is common, and the root s-d-q connotes truthfulness, sincerity, and reliability. In onomastics, Alsadiq may function as a given name or as a surname in Arabic- and Muslim-majority communities. Variants in English renderings include Al-Sadiq, as-Sadiq, and Sadiq with or without the leading article.

In historical and religious contexts, the name appears as part of epithet for several figures. Ja'far al-Sadiq (died 765 CE) is a central figure in Islamic history, recognized as an Imam in Shia tradition and a respected scholar in both Sunni and Shia circles. Other scholars and public figures bear the name as part of their full name.

Geographically, the name is common across the Arab world, Iran, South Asia, and diaspora communities in Europe and the Americas, reflecting the broad presence of Arabic and Islamic naming practices. The name's use as a surname often results from patronymic traditions.
