Etymology

The French noun *sirène* comes directly from Old French *sirène*, which in turn borrowed the Late Latin *sirenē*, itself a Latinization of the Greek *σίρινη* (*sirēnē*). The Greek term is derived from *σιρῶν* (siroin, “to sing”) and was used to describe the mythical mermaid or sea nymph that lures sailors. The word entered French in the 12th century, retaining the classical sense of a seductive, singing sea creature.
