Historical Context
Siana developed in Welsh usage from Sian, which is the Welsh equivalent of Jane. Jane entered English through Old French and Latin forms of the Hebrew Yohanan. The familiar meaning, God is gracious, has therefore travelled through several languages before reaching this Welsh form. Siana is generally understood as an expanded feminine form of Sian, retaining the same root and meaning.
