Siren

Of debated origin.

Some scholars argue that it might be a contracted form of Severine, others theorize a derivation from the Scandinavian name Sirin, while another theory assumes a derivation from Greek Seirenes (Σειρῆνας), the sirens or nymphs from Greek mythology.

Whatever theory might be true, in Norway this name was first recorded in the late 1700s.

Derived from Greek Σειρῆνες (Seirenes), the name of a type of sea nymphs who lured mariners with their enchanting voices.
