means king of Sine.

The ancient Kingdom of Sine, now part of Senegal, was a pre-colonial Serer kingdom .

Their kings were titled Maad or Maad (also spelled Mad or Maat).

The royal title Maad is sometimes used interchangeably with their ancient kings and landowners - the Lamanes.

[1][2][3][4][5] Between 1350 and 1969 (the Guelowar period - the last maternal dynasty in Serer country), more than fifty Serer kings have been crowned Maad a Sinig.
