This research aims to reveal the value of naming diseases in children by the Bugis ethnic group in Sidrap Regency. The type of research is qualitative with a Rapid Ethnography approach. The selection of informants used the snowball technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven traditional birth attendants, 2 parents of toddlers, two families of toddlers, two health workers, and one traditional leader, as well as focus group discussions with five health workers. Data is analyzed using content analysis, then interpreted and presented as narratives, matrices, and schemes. Test the validity of the data using triangulation of sources and methods. The research results showed that the Bugis ethnic group in Sidrap Regency gave 18 names of diseases to children.
