'Sydling' derives from the Old English sīd and hlinc, which mean 'broad ridge' and refer to the hills around the village.
In the 10th century the village was recorded as Sidelyng and in the Domesday Book of 1086 it was Sidelince.
The second part of the name comes from the dedicated saint of the parish church.
