Originally inspired by the Italian city of Siena, the name Sienna is directly linked to the reddish-brown clay pigment sienna, which was historically mined near the Tuscan town. Its soft, earthy sound has made it a modern favourite, particularly in English-speaking countries since the 1990s. Among its best-known bearers are actresses Sienna Miller, famed for her boho-chic style, and Sienna Guillory. The city of Siena itself lends its name to the stunning Piazza del Campo, and the colour term sienna remains a staple in artists’ palettes. A notable variant is the simpler spelling Siena, which replicates the place name exactly.
