Siri is of Scandinavian origin, derived from the Old Norse word 'Sigríðr', which means 'beauty who brings victory'. It has been used in various forms throughout history, such as Sigrid and Sigrun, but it gained significant popularity with Apple's virtual assistant named Siri, released in 2011. Today, Siri is widely recognized and associated with innovative technology, reflecting its original meaning of bringing beauty and success into one's life.
The name Siri has seen significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a marked rise starting around the mid-20th century and peaking in the early 21st century.
