Siobh谩n is an Irish personal name for females and is pronounced 'Shi-vawn' (IPA: /蕛蓹藞v蓴藧n/). It is ultimately derived from Hebrew words which meant "God is gracious". Alternative spellings of Siobh谩n include Siavon, Siobhan, Siobhain, Siobhann, Siobhon, Siovhan, Shivaune, Shivaun, Shavon, Sioban, Shivonne, Shvaugn, Shvaughn, Shavaughn, Shavaugn, Shavone and Chevonne. Its English equivalent is Joan.





Siobh谩n is derived from the French name Jeanne, the feminine form of Jean (which is derived from the Hebrew language). It was introduced to Ireland when the Normans ruled the country. The name fell out of use when the Penal Laws outlawed the use of the Irish language. Its popularity increased in the mid twentieth century, along with many other Irish names like 脕ine and Aoife. The popularity of the actress Siobh谩n McKenna (1923-1986) also helped the resurgence of the name.





Nicknames include: Sio, Shiv, Shivo, Shivy, Vaune, Vawny, Von, Vonny, Bahan, Shevy (or Chevy), Shibbie/Shibi/Shiby, Shibz, Shavz, Shevo, and Sibby

Reply:No, it's pronounced Shi-vawn.. It's kinda like how you pronounse Jean (John) in French, it has the same(ish) sound. One of my best friends is Siobhan, I know this :)
Reply:Assuming I'm reading "chevonne" correctly, yes ... Siobhan is properly said like shi-VAWN.
