Senia

Meaning of Senia

Senia is a warm, under-the-radar gem with a touch of Anglo-American breeziness and Iberian flair. Thought to wink at the Greek Xenia—meaning “hospitality”—and whisper softly of the Spanish seña, or “sign,” this name carries a sense of welcome and gentle purpose. In the United States, Senia has fluttered in and out of the top 1,000 since the late 1800s, most recently gracing around a half-dozen to a dozen newborns each year and settling in the mid-900s on the popularity chart. Its English pronunciation, SEEN-yuh, rolls off the tongue like a friendly breeze, while in Spanish, SEH-nyah feels like a tender greeting. Playful yet poised, Senia suggests someone who makes a memorable impression—like a whispered secret that lingers long after it’s shared. For parents seeking a name that blends tradition, cross-cultural warmth, and a spark of individuality, Senia offers an inspirational story waiting to unfold.
