Origin: Persian

Meaning: Of Serena; Serene, peaceful; Of Shireen; Sweet, kind-hearted

Shireena is a girl's name with two equally compelling stories. Some look to the classic beauty, Serena, meaning "serene" or "peaceful" in Italian. You may think of the good-intentioned Serena van der Woodsen of Gossip Girl or the unstoppable tennis queen Williams. However, Shireena's 'sh' beginning has ties to the Arabic and Persian pick Shireen, meaning "sweet" and "kind-hearted." Either way, you can expect your little ray of sunshine to have a calming presence in your life and a heart of gold!
