Sienna is the name of a city in Italy. A type of earth found there provides a pigment used in paints, and has, as a result, come to be applied to certain colours (raw or burnt sienna).

The school I went to in Edinburgh was called 'Sciennes' (pronounced sheens) which is a derivation of Sienna which is a town in Italy. There was a convent in Edinburgh, roughly where the school is, run by 'the Sisters of Sienna'. Don't think it's a flower and agree with the others about the colour pigment.

Don't know of a flower called sienna, but I know it is a colour.

It does not seem to be a flower. It is a clay having ferric oxide and is used in preparation of pigments.
