Shanee is a quirky respelling of the Yiddish name Shaina. Thanks to its meaning of "beautiful" and "God is gracious," it's stolen hearts across the globe for half a century. Not to worry, though! It's still exceptionally rare and will give baby an edge. Shanee may also be related to the Native American name Shania, made famous by Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain. It means "I'm on my way," which is probably the best conversation starter ever.
