Senna (Seneh)

Scholars dispute the origin of the name Senna. The capital of Persian Kurdistan is called Sanandaj, and some believe it was formerly called Senna, but others believe that as in the case with Lavar Kirman, Senna originally was the name of a village outside Sanandaj, and since it produced the highest quality weavings of the region, the name was adopted for the entire region
