Archaic perfume vase in the shape of a siren, c. 540 BC The etymology of the name is contested. Robert S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek origin. [5] Others connect the name to σειρά (seirá, "rope, cord") and εἴρω (eírō, "to tie, join, fasten"), resulting in the meaning "binder, entangler", [6] [better source needed] i.e. one who binds or entangles through magic song.

A siren is a loud noise-making device. There are two general types: mechanical and electronic. Civil defense sirens are mounted in fixed locations and used to warn of natural disasters or attacks. Sirens are used on emergency service vehicles such as ambulances, police cars, and fire engines.
The use of flashing lights and sirens is colloquially known as blues and twos, which refers to the blue lights and the two-tone siren once commonplace (although most sirens now use a range of tones). In the UK, only blue lights are used to denote emergency vehicles (although other colours may be used as sidelights, stop indicators, etc.).
Sirenia, commonly sirenians, are also referred to by the common name sirens, deriving from the sirens of Greek mythology. [5] [6] [7] Classification.
