What does Sian mean?
- English (UK) Near fluent
- Italian
It's a contraction of "siano" (that they be, subjunctive present for "they"). You may encounter such a form before consonants. "Siano" isn't wrong, but "sian" may sound rhythmically better :)
"È un peccato che sian verdi, a lui piace il rosso" (it's a shame that they're green, he likes red)

@ahmedalshrkawy well, yes, it's the name of a Lamborghini, but that has nothing to do with the Italian language :D In Italian, "sian" means what I told you. In any other language, I wouldn't know (it certainly doesn't mean thunder or thunderbolt).
