Siska

Siska is an original, feminine name with roots all over the world. This surname-turned-given name has Czech and Slovak connections, where it means “pinecone” or “conifer cone.” In Hungary, Siska is predominantly a surname meaning “long-eared pig,” which was an affectionate nickname given to those whose ears were on the slightly larger side. In Latin and German, Siska is most likely a derivation of Fransiska or Franziska, which is where the meanings of “from France” and “spear” come from, respectively. While all these definitions are seemingly random or unconnected, there is something wonderful and wild about this name that cannot be contained!
