Submitted Name Revision History

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.
