What is the meaning of the name Sena ?

The baby name Sena is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAY-nah.

Sena is Arabic, Korean, Sanskrit, Turkish in Origin.

Sena is best documented as Sanskrit सेना, transliterated senā, a feminine noun in the root language of classical Indo-Aryan literature with the literal sense army or battle array. The final long ā marks a feminine noun; in compounds and dynastic names it often appears without diacritics as Sena. A separate Turkish female name Sena reflects Arabic thanāʾ, praise or commendation, adapted to Turkish spelling and pronunciation.

In South Asia, Sena occurs in royal and family names, most notably the Sena dynasty of Bengal in the 11th–12th centuries, though it is less common as an independent modern given name than as a surname or compound element. Turkish usage is contemporary and feminine, alongside Arabic-influenced forms such as Sema and Sana. Elsewhere, Sena may also be a Korean two-syllable given name whose meaning depends on the chosen hangul or hanja. In English-language records it remains uncommon and predominantly female.
