History & Origin

Siennah is a contemporary respelling of Sienna, which comes from Siena in Tuscany and from the earth pigment terra di Siena - the burnt-orange brown that painters have used since the Renaissance. Sienna rose sharply as a girls' name in English-speaking countries from the 1990s onward, and spellings like Siennah followed the fashion for a softening final -h (said 'see-EN-uh').

This spelling is very rare in the U.S. while Sienna itself is well used. Rare in form, warm and familiar in sound.

Did you know? The colour sienna is literally 'earth of Siena' - a pigment dug from Tuscan hills and prized by painters for centuries. Siennah adds a modern -h to that warm, sunlit name (said 'see-EN-uh').
