Sianna

Girl name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sianna: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2025.

Sianna is a name of multiple origins, most familiar to English speakers as a modern spelling variant of the Gaelic name Siân, which is itself the Welsh form of Jane, ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." Unlike the more common Sienna, which shares a similar sound but comes from the Italian city, Sianna has a distinct Celtic flavour. Among famous bearers, Sianna Bruce is a well-known Scottish personal stylist and fashion writer, while Sianna Sherman is an American yoga teacher and author. The name also shares its root with the biblical John, creating a quiet link to a vast tradition of saints and monarchs. A further note: its resemblance to the Italian city Siena often leads to confusion, but Sianna remains a distinct, stylish choice with a deeply gracious meaning.
