Origin: American

Meaning: Yahweh or God is gracious

Honor your roots with this American twist on an Irish classic. This masculine moniker is a combination of Shawn—the anglicization of Seán—and the suffix -ell. Shawn derives from John, which can be traced back to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh or God is gracious.” This variation reached peak popularity in the 1960s, achieving the ideal interesting, vintage feel. Linking faith and heritage, Shawnell is the perfect choice.
