History and Origin
Siobhán (English pronunciation: /ʃɨˈvɔːn/ shi-VAWN; Irish pronunciation: [ˈʃɪwaːn̪ˠ] or [ʃəˈvˠaːn̪ˠ]) is a feminine Irish name.
It is derived from the Anglo-Norman Jehane and Jehanne, which were introduced into Ireland by the Anglo-Normans in the Middle Ages. The name is thus a cognate of the English Joan, and ultimately derived from the Latin Ioanna and Iohanna, which are in turn from the Greek Iōanna. This Greek name is a feminine form of the Greek Iōannēs, which is in turn a shortened form of the Hebrew Johanan, meaning "God is gracious".
The popularity of the actress Siobhán McKenna (1923–1986) helped the resurgence of the name in the twentieth century.
