Syretha is in Origin.

Syretha is a rare modern American feminine name, likely coined within African-American communities as a blend of Syreeta and Aretha. Syreeta is often linked to Sarita/Sarah (Hebrew “princess”) or to Rita (ultimately from Margarita, “pearl”), while Aretha derives from Greek arete, “virtue” or “excellence.” Read together, Syretha is interpreted to evoke “virtuous princess” or “excellent pearl,” though as an invented form it carries a creative, contemporary flavor beyond strict etymology.

The name appears sporadically in United States records from the late 1960s onward, paralleling the popularity of soul and R&B–associated names and the rise of distinctive blended spellings. Usage has remained uncommon, preserving a sense of individuality. Variant spellings and close relatives include Siretha, Syreta, Syreeta, Aretha, Areta, and Aretta; short forms such as Retha, Reet/Retta, and Sy also appear. Typical pronunciation is si-REE-thuh.
