Origin and meaning of Sienna
Sienna takes its name from the Tuscan city of Siena, through the pigment 'raw sienna', a warm reddish-brown tone beloved of painters. A modern, refined name, it evokes art, warmth and Italian landscapes all at once. It has caught on mainly in the United Kingdom and English-speaking countries, prized for its soft sound and elegant air; elsewhere it stays uncommon, but carries an unmistakable echo of Italy and its artistic tradition.
