Siddiqui, (also rendered as Siddiqi, Siddique, Siddiquee, Siddighi, Sadighi, Seddighi, Sidiki or Siddiquie) (Arabic: صدیقی) is a Muslim family name, found in the South Asia and the Middle East. Shaikh is an additional title used occasionally by Siddiqui/Siddique to signify their Arab heritage. People having surname "Siddiqui" are offspring of Abu Bakr Siddiq (Arabic: ابو بكر الصديق), the first Caliph and an early companion and a close friend of the Prophet Muhammad.
The name "Siddiqui" derives from the word Siddiq, which means "truthful" in Arabic. "Al-Siddiq" was the title accorded to Abu Bakr (Arabic: ابو بكر الصديق), the first Caliph and friend of the Prophet Muhammad. The surname "Siddiqui/Siddiqi" signifies ancestry from Abu Bakr Siddiq.
Abu Bakr belonged to the Banu Taym clan of the Quraish. The genealogy of Abu Bakr joined that of the Prophet Muhammad in the eighth degree in their common ancestor Murrah ibn Ka'b. Four generations of the family of Abu Bakr Siddiq had the distinction of being the companions (Sahaba) of the Prophet Muhammad namely Abu Bakr, his father Uthman Abu Quhafa, his eldest son Abdu'l-Rahman and his grandson Abu Atiq Muhammad. No other family had this honour. Many Siddiqui families descend from this particular lineage. On the other hand, the Siddiqui families who are the progeny of Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, the youngest son of Abu Bakr descend from three generations of Sahaba. The lineage of Abu Bakr did not continue through his middle son Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr who was wounded during the Siege of Taif and later died of these wounds.
