Meaning and background
The story behind Siena
Siena takes its spelling from the historic Tuscan city of Siena in Italy. As a modern given name it is often treated as a variant of Sienna, but the one-n spelling points particularly clearly to the place. No dependable evidence requires the city name to mean a colour or a character trait. The city connection is the meaningful, supportable detail.
