Siena Name History & Origins
Siena was an Etruscan settlement in Tuscany. The Romans called the town Sena or Saena, and a Roman colony there was named Sena Iulia, likely founded in the 1st century BC. In the Middle Ages Siena became an independent city-state and a long-time rival of Florence. The city's name entered English through Italian; the English form Sienna came to be used for the city and for a reddish-brown pigment made from earth found near Siena. As a personal name in English, Siena uses the Italian spelling of the city name, while Sienna is the English spelling used for the given name. A traditional account, not supported by historical evidence, says the city was founded by Senius and Aschius, sons of Remus.
