Siiri is a female given name of Estonian origin, derived from the word "siir" which means 'swift' or 'quick'. This name has been traditionally used in Estonia and among the Estonian diaspora but has also gained popularity in other countries due to its unique sound and meaning. It consists of three letters: S, I, and R, with two i's and one r. In terms of phonetics, it is pronounced /'siːri/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The name Siiri does not have any associated saints or well-known historical figures, making its popularity more driven by personal preference rather than tradition or religious influence. It has been used relatively infrequently compared to other names, which may contribute to its distinctive and recognizable character.
Siiri experienced notable popularity spikes in the early 20th century and again around the late 20th to early 21st centuries, with a total of 38 births recorded over time.
