Some first names arrived in France very late. Already widespread in other countries, they are becoming more and more popular in France. This is the case of this first name referring to a city in Italy.
The authors of the book L’Officiel des Prénoms, Claire Tabarly Perrin and Stéphanie Rapoport, analyze first name trends each year, as well as those that emerge as well as rare gems. Among the first names we will hear about: those born in the 2000s in France. Find out which female first name the Doctissimo editorial team has chosen to highlight.
Sienna, a first name already widespread in some European countries
The feminine name Sienna refers to Siena, a Tuscan city in Italy (Siena in Italian). Sienna is very common in European and English-speaking countries. In France it appeared in the 2000s. Could there be a link with the actress Sienna Miller? Her relationship with Jude Law caused a lot of ink to flow, especially in 2005 when the actor admitted to having cheated on the actress with the children’s nanny. The celebrity pages of magazines made a big deal about it for weeks…
Today, this first name ranks in the top 400 most given names and 1900 people have sweet first names in France. Some parents may prefer simplicity and choose the Siena variant.
In terms of character, little Siennas are credited with commitment, method, reliability, tenacity and a sense of duty. A strong personality that appeals to parents.
