Meaning & origin
Siena is a place name that entered the American naming pool in the mid-1960s, first recorded in 1965. It has been steadily rising since 1985 and reached its peak rank of 610 in 2025, with a frequency of 1 in 3,355 births. The name is most popular in the District of Columbia, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, reflecting a preference among educated, urban families for Italian-inspired names. Its rising trajectory suggests it remains fashionable among parents seeking a softer alternative to Sienna.
Siena is a place name taken from the city in Tuscany, Italy. The city's name may derive from the Etruscan family name Saina, but a folk etymology claims it comes from the Latin senex (old), referring to an early settlement of Senones Gauls. The name began to be used for girls in the English-speaking world in the late 20th century, likely inspired by places like Siena and Sienna (the reddish-brown color).
