Etymology
Sirloin comes from old French parts: sur- 'above' and loin 'the loin', so it originally meant the cut 'above the loin'. One popular story says a king liked this piece so much he 'knighted' it as 'Sir Loin', which is a fun way to remember it but not the real origin. That's why sirloin now means a prime cut of beef from the back.
