Etimologia (English)

Inherited from tedesco medio alto: sirēne

Borrowed from francese: sirène

Cognate with olandese: sering

In summary

In the mythological sense from Middle High German sirēne, from Latin Sirēn, in the acoustical sense from French sirène, in the botanical sense confused from Syringe from Latin sȳrinx which was before the introduction of the lilac to Europe in the 16th century the name of the plant now called Pfeifenstrauch (sweet mock orange, Philadelphus coronarius). Dutch sering developed likely simultaneously due to the fact that the plant was sent from Turkey to Germany and the Netherlands at the same time, whereas the Scandinavian words passed from likely Lübeck.
