Etymology
In the mythological sense from de gmh sirēne, from de la Sirēn, in the acoustical sense from de fr sirène, in the botanical sense confused from de Syringe from de la sȳrinx which was before the introduction of the lilac to Europe in the 16th century the name of the plant now called de Pfeifenstrauch (sweet mock orange, Philadelphus coronarius species). nl 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 de Lübeck.
