Sierra means "snowy range" as in the mountain range of the same name in Nevada.

In Spanish it can also mean "saw".

But, sometimes names do not have a literal connection to the word's meaning or translation.

Much more often. parents pick a name for the emotions they have that the word brings up or reminds them of (such as the feeling about a place), or the emotional connection of that word when they look at their newborn.

In many, many other cases, parents (often the mother) pick a name simply because they like the sound of it, or the meaning behind a particular spelling. For example Neveah is heaven spelled backward. You may have been named Sierra simply because you mom liked the sound or how she felt about the name.

If you can, ask your mother, father, or grandparents about why your parents picked "Sierra". To me, it conjures up the meaning, "beautiful" or "magnificent beauty".
