Sia

Sia is an English feminine name that functions primarily as a short form of names beginning with or containing that sound, such as Alessia or Sylvia, though it has also been used as an independent given name. It gained particular international visibility through the Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler, who performs under the single-stage name Sia. The name is also found in West African traditions, particularly among Mandé-speaking peoples, where it carries its own distinct heritage. Cognates and related short forms include Siya and Zia.
