Siera Origin and Meaning

The name Siera is a girl's name.

Siera is a feminine name that serves as an alternative spelling of Sierra, which derives from the Spanish word for 'mountain range' or 'saw.' This variation removes the double 'r' for a more streamlined appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. The name gained traction in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, appealing to parents drawn to nature-inspired names with a touch of exoticism. While less common than the Sierra spelling, Siera offers a subtle uniqueness. The name evokes images of majestic landscapes and carries connotations of strength and natural beauty. Its popularity has fluctuated over recent decades but maintains steady usage.
