Si
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Si: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
Short and punchy, Si is most commonly a modern diminutive of Simon, a Hebrew name meaning 'he has heard'. In Scotland, it also serves as a friendly short form of Sidney or Silas. The name is familiar through Si King, one half of the beloved Hairy Bikers cooking duo, and appears occasionally in pop culture as a character nickname. While not tied to any specific place, the sound echoes the Scottish Gaelic word 'sìth' for peace, though this connection is coincidental rather than etymological. As a complete given name, Si is also used in Vietnam, where it means 'poem', giving it a gentle, artistic appeal. This blend of Scottish familiarity and international flair makes Si a versatile choice for modern parents.
