The name Siena comes from the name of an Italian city, which is the capital of the province of Siena.
According to a legend, Siena was founded by Senius, the son of Remus, who was the brother of Romulus.
Other versions state that the name of the city could be derived from the Etruscan family name "Saina",
the Roman family name "Saenii", or the Latin word "seneo" meaning "to be old".
