As delphine said Sinisa (original spelling Siniša) is a male name used in Croatia and other ex-Yugoslavian countries. It is pronounced 'SEE-nee-shah'. The meaning comes from the noun 'sin'(pr. with the long ee, not like the English word sin) meaning 'son'.
In Croatia it was the most popular in 1970s/80s. ___________________________________________________________

They're not so rare in Slavic languages. To just mention a few I've seen in Croatia: Nikola, Sasha, Vanya / Vanja, Andrija, Matija, Ivica, Luka, Andrea, Ilija, Mata, Borna, Jaksa…
