What Sienna means
Where Sienna comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Sienna began as a color before it became a person. The word comes from the Italian terra di Siena, the earth of Siena, a pigment dug near that Tuscan city and prized for its reddish-brown tone. Its root runs back to Latin, to the soil and the place name that English later borrowed for painters.
As a first name, Sienna is young. It gained ground in Britain and the wider English-speaking world in the early 2000s, near the rise of the actress Sienna Miller, born in 1981. The name keeps no diminutives or variants on record, so it arrives whole.
On a Polish class register it would sit without a fixed imieniny and without a patron saint, a color word among the Zofias and Jans. A girl named Sienna wears the shade of warmed earth. Her name means a reddish-brown, the orange-red of pigment once ground from Tuscan soil.
