У њој се каже да је Синан рођен у [[Кајсери (вилајет)|Кајсерији]] у [[Кападокија|Кападокији]].

Године [[1938]]. на 350-годишњици Синанове смрти, турски историчар [[Б. Злуг]] је изнео неке нове податке о Синановом пореклу. Ове податке он темељи на оригиналним писаним документима, који се налазе у турском Државном архиву. Према њима, Синан се родио у [[Агирназ]]у, селу у подручју [[Кеси]], у централном делу [[Кајсери (вилајет)|Кајсерије]]. Према подацима сиџила (судбеног протокола) из тога времена, ове крајеве су насељавали хришћани турског порекла, које је Византија, да би се одупрла навалама Арапа насељавала у [[Анадолија|Анадолији]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Akgündüz| first = Ahmed| last2=Öztürk| first2 = Said| title = Ottoman History: Misperceptions and Truths| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=EnT_zhqEe5cC|year=2011| publisher = IUR Press|isbn = 978-90-90-26108-9|pages=196}}</ref> Као хршћанско дете, Синан је доведен у [[Истанбул]], преведен на [[ислам]] и дат у [[јањичари|јањичарску]] војску на васпитавање.<ref name="GoodwinA87">{{harvnb|Goodwin|2001|p=87}}</ref>
