Sienna

Girl name · 1,664 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sienna: 1,664 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 136 births in 2017.

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.
