From the desert mountain; thorny
Synai is a modern phonetic variant of Sinai, the name of the mountain where the Ten Commandments were given in the Bible. The name likely derives from the Hebrew word 'seneh', referring to a type of acacia or bramble bush found in the region. It has gained usage as a contemporary spiritual name for girls.
