Siru

A playful Finnish name, Siru doubles up as both a wordy choice and a variation of the Scandinavian Sigrid. Pronounced as SIH-roo (Sih like the sound in sit, roo like the short sound in took), it is a familiar choice for girls in Finland.

When used as a word name, it means "fragment, chip, splinter" connoting ice or glass (or perhaps a fragment of poetry), while as a form of Sigrid, it comes from Old Norse and means "fair, beautiful victory". The name is notably borne by the singer Siru Aristola.

The name may also be used more globally, possibly as a Thai, Hindi, and Tamil name, all derived from the Sanskrit Sri meaning "splendor, radiance".

Pronounced SIR-oo.
