Shavaune is in Origin.

Shavaune is a modern English variant of the Irish Gaelic name Siobhán (pronounced shi-VAWN), the Irish counterpart to Joan/Jeanne. Siobhán descends from medieval French Jehanne, ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The v in Shavaune reflects the Irish bh sound, and the final e elongates the vowel to mirror the Irish stress.

While Siobhán has been used in Ireland since the Middle Ages, creative, phonetic spellings spread in the wider English-speaking world during the 20th century. Shavaune appears sporadically in late-20th-century records in the US and UK, paralleling the rise of spellings like Shavonne, Shavon, and Shavaughn; it remains rare and distinctive. Close variants and cognates include Siobhán/Siobhan, Shivonne, Shavonne, Shavon, and Shavaughn, with broader relatives Joan, Joanna, Jane, Jean, Jeanne, and Johanna. Core meaning: God is gracious.
