Siân Origin and Meaning

The name Siân is a girl's name.

Siân is a Welsh feminine name, representing the Welsh form of Jane, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' The circumflex accent over the 'a' indicates a long vowel sound, pronounced similar to 'shahn.' This name is particularly popular in Wales and among Welsh families worldwide. Siân gained some international recognition through cultural exchanges but maintains its strong Welsh identity. The name's simplicity, combined with its rich cultural heritage, makes it appealing to parents looking for a name with authentic Celtic roots. In Wales, it has been consistently used throughout the decades, representing a connection to Welsh language and tradition while remaining contemporary.
