Sadıqova is an Azerbaijani feminine surname, derived as the feminine form of Sadıqov, which means "son of Sadıq". The root name Sadıq is the Azerbaijani form of Sadiq, an Arabic name meaning "true, sincere, loyal", from the Arabic root صدق (ṣadaqa) meaning "to tell the truth".
This surname follows the typical Azerbaijani naming convention where suffixes -ov/-ova (or -yev/-yeva) are used to denote patrilineal descent. The form Sadıqova specifically indicates a female bearer, while Sadıqov is used for males. Similar feminine patronymic surnames are found in other Turkic and Persian-influenced cultures. For instance, the Persian equivalent Sadeghi is a common surname, and in Uzbek the forms Sodiqov and Sodiqova exist. In Turkish, the related form is Sadık.
Given the meaning "son of Sadıq", the surname originally referenced an ancestor named Sadıq, reflecting personal qualities of truthfulness and loyalty. The name Sadıq itself carries religious significance in Islam, as one of the attributes of the Prophet Muhammad was al-Sadiq (the truthful). Thus, Sadıqova and its variants are prevalent in Muslim-majority regions.
