Etymology: Derived from Japanese elements: 'shi' (子, meaning child or proper) combined with 'na' (奈, phonetic character often used in names, sometimes associated with nara tree) or other kanji like 菜 (vegetable, greens) or 奈 (Nara). The name may also be influenced by Chinese pronunciation historically for certain regions, but as a modern girl's name in Japan, it is primarily native or phonetically constructed.
