What is the meaning of the name Sia ?

The baby name Sia is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEE-uh.

Sia is Egyptian, Old Norse in Origin.

Sia is a modern feminine short form rather than a single inherited medieval name. In the Nordic explanation, it rests on Old Norse sigr, earlier a Germanic noun with the sense victory; the element appears in compound names such as Sigríðr, Signý, and Sigurðr. A separate ancient source is Egyptian sjꜣ, conventionally transcribed Sia, denoting perception or understanding and personified as a deity.

As a given name in English-speaking records, Sia has mostly functioned as a diminutive of Sophia, Anastasia, Cecilia, Sienna, or Nordic Sigr- names, so its cultural setting varies by family and language. The Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler made the spelling more visible after her 2014 hit Chandelier, though it remains outside the main U.S. Top 1000. Related Nordic forms include Signe, Signy, Sigrid, and Siri.
