What is the meaning of the name Siret ?

The baby name Siret is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈsi.re(t)/ (SEE-ret).

Siret is Estonian in Origin.

Siret is an Estonian feminine name, a local development and short form related to Sirje/Siiri and Sigrid, ultimately from Old Norse Sigríðr (sigr “victory” + fríðr “beautiful, beloved”). It thus carries the sense “beautiful victory,” reflecting Scandinavian influence on Estonian naming.

Used in Estonia since the mid-20th century, Siret rose in the 1970s–1980s and remains familiar but not widespread; a noted bearer is politician Siret Kotka. Variants and cognates include Estonian Sirje and Sigrid, Finnish Siiri, and Nordic Siri. Elsewhere, Siret names a Romanian river and town, unrelated. In some Turkic and South Slavic contexts, siret is a learned loanword from Arabic sīra “character; life story”; when adopted as a given name it is rare and understood with that meaning.
