Sireen

Meaning of Sireen

The feminine given name Sireen—articulated in English as /sɪˈriːn/—emerges from a confluence of linguistic traditions, drawing on the Persian-Arabic appellation Shīrīn (شیرین), which signifies “sweet,” while simultaneously evoking the Latin-derived English adjective serene, denoting “calm” or “clear.” This dual heritage endows the name with a layered semantic profile, uniting the tender, affectionate resonance of Persian literary tradition with the ideal of tranquil composure characteristic of classical European usage. Although Sireen remains relatively uncommon in the United States—registering eight to fourteen annual occurrences and ranking in the lower 900s over the past decade—it has maintained a discreet yet consistent presence, appealing to parents who seek a distinctive appellation that balances cultural depth with refined individuality.
