Siamack is Persian in Origin.

Siamack is an Iranian masculine name, more commonly transliterated Siamak or Siyamak (Persian سیامک, Siāmak). Etymologically, it is often connected to Persian siyāh “black, dark” combined with the diminutive suffix -ak, yielding the traditional sense “dark-haired (youth)” or “little dark one.” Because the name is epic rather than descriptive in most sources, its exact morphology is debated, but this gloss is widely accepted among Persian speakers.

In Persian literary history, Siamak is a legendary prince in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh: the son of the primordial king Kayumars, slain by a demon and later avenged by his son Hushang. The heroic, foundational role helped sustain the name’s use across Persian-speaking regions (Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan) and in the global diaspora, where it rose in the later 20th century. Variants and spellings include Siamak (standard), Siyamak, Siamack, Siamek, and Syamak; scholarly Siāmak. Informal short forms include Siya and, in English, Mack.
