Chavonne is English in Origin.

Chavonne is a modern English feminine name, most often a phonetic variant of Shavonne, itself an Anglicized form of the Irish Siobhán. Siobhán is the Irish cognate of Joan/Joanna, ultimately from the Hebrew Yehochanan (“Yahweh is gracious,” commonly rendered “God is gracious”). The initial Ch- in Chavonne reflects English spelling trends and sometimes visual influence from the French Yvonne, though the core etymology traces to the John/Joan family of names.

The name rose in use in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom, where creative respellings of Irish names became fashionable. It has seen modest but steady usage, with concentrations in African‑American communities. Documented variants include Shavonne, Chevonne, Chivonne, Shivonne, Siobhan, Shavon/Chavon (short forms). The meaning across these forms remains “God is gracious.” Related names by origin include Joan, Jane, Joanne, and Johanna.
