History & Origin

Seirra is a variant of Sierra, the Spanish word for a saw-toothed mountain range, from the Latin serra, 'saw'. Sierra rose as a fresh nature-name for American girls in the nineteen-nineties, and respellings like Seirra followed. Recorded from around 1985, it crested about 1999 at just over sixty girls a year.

This spelling always trailed the standard Sierra and faded after the twenty-tens. Three airy beats, Seirra reads as a nineties nature-name respelling; Sierra itself remains the far more common and enduring form.

Did you know? Seirra just flips the -ie- of Sierra to -ei- — a frequent transposition that became a name in its own right.
