Girl name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sine: 5 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2001.
Sine is a traditional Gaelic name, the Scottish and Irish form of Jane, ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." It is closely related to the more familiar Sinead, and its anglicised version, Sheena. Perhaps the most famous bearer is the iconic Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, whose powerful voice and courage left a lasting cultural impact. The name also appears in the title of the 1970s pop hit "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" by the Ramones. While no major places are directly named after a Sine, the root name Jane appears in countless place names worldwide. Sine offers a beautifully concise and melodic choice, deeply rooted in Celtic heritage while remaining refreshingly simple for modern use.
