The Meaning of My Name

The baby girl name Sierra is also used as a boy name, though it is far more popular for girls. Sierra has its origins in the Spanish language and it is used largely in English. The name is derived from the Spanish word sierra (meaning 'mountain range'), in reference to a mountain range with jagged peaks, and favored for its allusion to the beauty of nature. It has recently been adopted by English speakers, and its use promoted in the USA after the Ciara brand of perfume was introduced by Revlon in 1973.. In the USA, the Sierra Club is also well-known as the largest grassroots environmental organization. My mom named me after a band she heard on the radio that was called Sierra. If I was a boy she would’ve named me Hunter.My nickname is Nevada, after the Sierra Nevada Mountains. My mom liked my name and i like it too.
