Etymology
It is likely that this GN is Mulekite, since this river passed through ZERAHEMLA, and ZERAHEMLA was first settled by Mulekites. If it does derive from the biblical name for the Phoenician city SIDON (ṣidon, Phoenician ṣdn, EGYPTIAN ddwn3, ASSYRIAN ṣiduna), as most commentaries suggest, this may denote the presence of Phoenician influence among the Mulekites.
For the etymology see the standard biblical commentaries.
Unlikely is the comparison with Syriac sidona (v???), “linen garment,” as in Luke 19:20, John 13:4 (RFS).
Cf. Book of Mormon SIDOM
