Origin: Irish

Meaning: God is gracious

Shavaun is a variant of one of the most popular Irish girls' names since its arrival on the island in the early 14th century. With no "v" in the Irish language, putting "bh" together creates that v sound in Siobhán. Therefore, Shavaun is the anglicization of the name while also omitting the síneadh fada accent above the "a." With the meaning of "God is gracious," baby Shavaun can give thanks to its predecessor for paving the way.
