Etymology
The district's name has its origins in the Arabic word saq, which refers to a tree trunk. As the area is situated in a rawda (depression), it accommodated various flora, among which Ziziphus nummularia, locally known as sidr, was most valued because of the use of its trunks as building material.[4]
