Sith - just what does it mean?

I wonder, somewhere I take it there will be a meaning, some of you guys probably already know. Without spending ages looking for it I thought I'd ask here, and tell you why I wanted to know.

 

The other day it occured to me, as I was drinking my coffee out of my Jedi vs Sith mug that I'd seen the word Sith somewhere other than star wars, and guess where? On my parents house!!!!

 

:eek:

 

The house is called

 

Eilean Sith

 

Which is gaelic and pronunced

 

ay linn she

 

and it means ; Island of (Eilean) PEACE (Sith) - a little weird I thought!! maybe just coincidence, but I'd be happy to see what the Star Wars universe meaning of the word Sith is.

I don't think that the word "Sith" has any particular meaning in Star Wars. The Sith were a race of people, whom were taken over by the Dark Jedi. Thats how they got the term Sith, and "Darth" comes from Dark Lord of the Sith.
