Named after Fortuna'54 more likely. Fortuna Sittard was only formed in 1968, from a merger between Fortuna'54 and Sittardia.
Last two decades have been a complete rollercoaster. Been in complete turmoil for 16 years of those 20. Seen it all, from merger plans with our arch rivals, to facing bankruptcy and winding up orders on multiple occasions. Once even having our pro license taken away by the Dutch FA, only to win it back after starting a legal procedure and because the FA made a couple of form errors.
Been taken over by a Turkish investor almost 3 years ago. Luckily a real passionate football fan and with the brains and knowhow how to run a football club. Made quite a remarkable rise up the table since. Got promoted to the Dutch eredivisie the season before last and stayed up quite comfortably in the end. New owner seems completely commited to make us a stabalized eredivisie team, and uptil now I haven't got a single reason to doubt him for that.
