Sienna

Sienna is an Italian-derived English name referencing the warm reddish-brown earth pigment from the city of Siena, Tuscany. The color sienna — made from iron oxide-rich clay — was used by Renaissance painters and gives the name a warm, artistic, sun-baked Mediterranean glow.

Sienna is one of the most naturally beautiful color names available to pet owners, and it suits any animal with warm, reddish-brown, or golden-brown coloring to an almost uncanny degree. Irish Setters, Vizslas, Brown Tabby cats, and Dachshunds wear this name like it was made for them — because, in a way, it was. The Tuscan connection gives it an artistic depth that simple color names like 'Rusty' lack. It is also a legitimate human name with genuine popularity, which means it carries no irony or humor, just sincere beauty. Sienna is a name that ages gracefully on any pet.
