Siri

Female given name

Siri is a Scandinavian feminine given name. It is a short form of Sigrid, from Old Norse Sigríðr, composed of the elements sigr "victory" and fríðr "beautiful". The variant Siri has been widely used since the Middle Ages, it was common in Norway until the 18th century, when its usage declined, but saw new high popularity in the 20th century. It is now a common name in Norway and Sweden. In Sweden the name gained new popularity around 1900, and has again become increasingly popular in the last years. The Faroese equivalent is Sirið; the ð is not pronounced; the spelling without ð is also common. To a lesser extent it is also used in Denmark.
