The name Siri is Scandinavian, a short form of the Norse name Sigrid meaning “beauty” and “victory”, and comes from the intended name for the original developer’s first child. Siri is a lot smarter than you or I. If you ever wanted to find out what I’m tweeting, or anyone else for that matter, simply ask Siri, “What is (insert Twitter name here) saying?” Or if you want to know what song is playing on the television or radio, simply ask “What song is this?” and Siri, with some help from Shazam behind the scenes, will tell you what’s playing.
And, in many cases, Siri is a lot funnier than you or I, too.
