A name for the goddess Sita; also means white
In Sanskrit, Siya is a modern variant of Sita, the heroine of the Hindu epic Ramayana and the consort of Lord Rama. It is often interpreted as meaning 'white' or 'moonlight' in certain contexts, representing purity and grace. The name has gained significant popularity in India and the diaspora as a shorter, more contemporary alternative to traditional names.
