Siya
Siya is a gender-neutral name of Indian origin, primarily used in Hindu and Sikh communities. While its exact etymological roots are uncertain, it is believed to be derived from Sanskrit words related to concepts such as victory, success, or prosperity.
One potential source is the Sanskrit word 'siya', which means 'prosperity' or 'wealth'. Another possible origin is the word 'siddhi', meaning 'attainment' or 'accomplishment'. In some contexts, the name Siya may also be connected to the word 'siyaa', meaning 'brave' or 'courageous'.
In Hindu mythology, Siya is also a variation of the name Sita, the central female character in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana. Sita is considered an embodiment of virtues like devotion, purity, and resilience.
While predominantly used for girls in modern times, the name Siya can be considered gender-neutral, and it has been used for both boys and girls in various Indian communities over the centuries.
