The name "Siddique" derives from the word Siddiq, which means "truthful" in Arabic. "Al-Siddiq" was the title accorded to Abu Bakr (RA) (Arabic: ابو بكر الصديق), the first Khalifa (Caliph) and close friend of Prophet Mohammad. He was the greatest of the Companions or Sahabba and belonged to the Banu Taim clan of the Quraish. The surname "Siddiqui" signifies ancestry (purported or otherwise) from Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (RA).
