Shevaun

Shevaun is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Siobhán, itself the Irish equivalent of the Old French Jehanne, which derives ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The name entered Ireland through the Norman French influence following the twelfth-century invasion, adapting to native Irish phonology over time. Siobhán gained wide cultural recognition through figures such as the celebrated Irish actress Siobhán McKenna. Related forms include Shavonne, Chevonne, and Siobhan, as well as the broader family of Joan, Jane, and Jean.
