Meaning & Origin
An ancient Egyptian god, the personification of perception.
Sia is a girl's and boy's baby name of African and Scandinavian origin — in West African (Mende) tradition meaning 'a gift' or 'laughter,' while in Scandinavian contexts it serves as a short form of Sigrid or Cecilia. In Norse mythology, Sía was a giantess.
Australian singer-songwriter Sia — famous for performing with her face hidden behind an oversized bow — brought this ultra-minimal name to global consciousness. Whether through its West African meaning of laughter and gifts, its Norse mythology, or its association with an artist who redefines the relationship between art and identity, Sia packs enormous significance into three letters.
