It's a girl's name.

It can also be spelt Sian and is pronounced Sigh-ANN (si as is sign).

Don't know what it means.

What do you think? Like it/ hate it?

Thanks, Elaine

I think that it will be often mispronounced with the 'Cyan' Spelling. I'm pretty sure the cyan is a color--isn't it? I really like the sound of it, but hate the spelling, although I can't think of any alternatives!! Good Luck!

Cyan is very musculine, great name for a boy, but not for a girl IMO. Sian is a nice name for girl, though!

I quite like Sian, but I know it as the Welsh form of Jeanne and is pronounced SHAN. I like Cyan as a colour but not as a first name... I think it'd make a great middle name though.
