What is the meaning of the name Siru ?

The baby name Siru is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'IPA': ['/siɾu/ (Tamil)', '/ˈsi.ru/ (Finnish)'], 'respelling': 'SEE-roo'}.

Siru is Finnish, Tamil in Origin.

Siru is a Finnish given name taken directly from the common noun siru, meaning a small chip, shard, or fragment - often evoking a glittering piece of ice or gem. As a word name it carries the affectionate sense of something tiny yet bright and precious. In everyday Finnish, siru also denotes a microchip, giving the name a modern, sleek undertone without altering its older poetic imagery.

Use as a standalone name grew in Finland in the late 20th century alongside concise nature and word-based choices, and it remains modestly popular, primarily for girls. Siru also functions as a familiar short form for several Finnish and Nordic names beginning with Sir-, such as Siiri and Siri (ultimately from Sigrid), as well as Sirkka and Sirkku. Spelling is consistent without diacritics, and the name is rare outside Finland but travels easily due to its simple, two-syllable structure.
