Senna

Meaning of Senna

Picture Senna as a desert bloom basking under a Spanish sun—her roots trace back to the Arabic word “sanā,” carried through Latin apothecaries who prized the senna plant for its cleansing magic, and she still wafts that hint of herbal freshness today. In modern Dutch nurseries she’s a spirited sister to Mila and Luna, while in Formula-1 lore she borrows a dash of speed and daring from the legendary Ayrton Senna, proving she can wear both petals and pistons with flair. Spoken aloud—SEN-uh—it’s a quicksilver flutter off the tongue, friendly yet intriguing, like a postcard from a far-off market. Parents love that she’s rare enough to sparkle (never straying much above the 800s in U.S. charts) yet familiar enough to feel instantly at home, and the botanical tie-in offers endless nursery themes of golden pods and emerald leaves. For a little girl destined to race toward her dreams but stop to smell every flower along the way, Senna is sunshine, speed, and sweet simplicity all rolled into five irresistible letters.
