Shayne

Shayne is an English respelling of Shane, itself an Anglicization of the Irish name Seán, which derives from the Old French Jehan and ultimately from the Latin Iohannes, rooted in the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. The altered spelling emerged as a way to reflect a perceived pronunciation or to give the name a more distinctive written form. It shares its heritage with John, Sean, Shane, and Shawn, all tracing back to the same Hebrew source.
