Meaning & History

Shavonne is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Siobhán, often considered a combination of the phonetic element sha and Yvonne.

Etymology

Siobhán is the Irish form of Jehanne, a Norman French variant of Jeanne, which is the modern French feminine form of Iohannes (Latin for John). The ultimate root is the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yoḥanan), meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The Anglicization of Siobhán into Shavonne reflects the pronunciation in modern Irish, with possible influence from the French name Yvonne.

Usage and Variants

Shavonne is primarily used in English and African American communities. Variant forms include Shavon (African American), Chevonne (English), Shevaun (English), and Shevon (English). These names all trace back through the rich chain of names derived from John, one of the most enduring masculine names in the English-speaking world.
