MEANING & HISTORY
What does Seniang mean?
Seniang is documented in Tagalog from Senia with a familiar ending, and the entry identifies Arsenia as its longer name. The explicit chain is stronger than a guess based only on shared syllables.
The consulted Arsenia entries attest use but do not add a deeper root. The local familiar formation can therefore be explained accurately without importing an unverified Greek meaning.
