Sidi or Sayidi, also Sayyidi and Sayeedi, (Arabic: سيدي, romanized: Sayyīdī, Sīdī (dialectal) "milord") is an Arabic masculine title of respect. Sidi is used often to mean "saint" or "my master" in Maghrebi Arabic and Egyptian Arabic. Without the first person possessive object pronoun -ī (ي-), the word is used similarly in other dialects, in which case it would be the equivalent to modern popular usage of the English Mr. It is also used in dialects such as Eastern Arabic, as well as by Muslims of the Indian subcontinent in the Urdu language where, however, it does not have as much currency as Sayyid (same spelling: سيد), Janab or Sahib.

Si El Madani El Glaoui (1860–July 1918; born Madani El Mezouari El Glaoui, Arabic: المدني المزواري الڭلاوي, romanized: al-Madanī al-Mazwarī al-Glāwī; Tachelhit: Lmadani Aglawu), nicknamed the faqih (the literate) was a prominent statesman in Morocco during the late 19th century and early 20th century. He was largely responsible for establishing the Glaoui family's power in the country.
Descendant of a family in the service of the Moroccan Makhzen since the reign of Moulay Ismail, and invested by Moulay Hassan, Si El Madani served 4 successive sultans with several functions, culminating in his appointment in 1908 as Grand Vizier (صدر أعظم in Arabic) under Moulay Abdelhafid before being dismissed in 1911 at the urging of France, whose increasing influence in Moroccan affairs he had opposed.
