Shiana

Meaning of Shiana

Shiana (pronounced shee-AH-nuh) is a lyrical modern blend of Celtic warmth and Italian elegance, drawing inspiration from Sheena—a Gaelic form of Jane meaning “God is gracious”—and the sun-kissed city of Siena. Though it’s never cracked the top 500, quietly hovering in the mid-900s most years since the 1980s, Shiana has steadily captured hearts across America like a gentle sunrise brightening familiar horizons. Each little Shiana brings a soft-spoken confidence and a spark of imagination, ready to paint her own story in crayon or make a grand entrance on her first day of school. Playful yet poised, this name strikes the perfect balance between the unexpected and the well-loved—rare enough to stand out, yet warm enough to feel like an old friend. For parents seeking a name that whispers promise and possibility, Shiana offers an invitation to dream big—one enchanted syllable at a time.
