Chevonne

Chevonne is an anglicized respelling of the Irish name Siobhán, which itself derives from the Old French Jehanne, a feminine form of Johannes, ultimately rooted in the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. The spelling reflects an attempt to render the Irish pronunciation — roughly "shih-VAWN" — in a form more intuitive to English speakers. Siobhán and its many anglicizations, including Shevon, Chevon, and Shauvon, have been used in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora for centuries.
