Sheanna is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a blended formation of Irish Shea and classic Anna. Shea ultimately traces to the Irish surname Ó Séaghdha (from Séaghdha), commonly interpreted as “dauntless” or “stately,” while Anna comes from Hebrew Channah, meaning “grace” or “favor.” The name can also be viewed as an elaboration of Sheena, the Anglicized Scottish Gaelic Sìne - cognate with Jane/John - placing Sheanna within a wider pan‑Celtic and biblical name network.

Documented mainly from the late 20th century onward in English‑speaking countries (notably the United States, Canada, Ireland, and Scotland), Sheanna remains uncommon and stylistically contemporary. Likely pronunciations are shee-AN-uh or shay-AN-uh. Variants and near‑forms include Sheana, Shianna, Shiana, Shanna, Sheena, Shauna, and Shawna. Taken as a blend, the composite meaning evokes “graceful courage” or “favored and steadfast,” balancing the gentleness of Anna with the spirited Irish flair of Shea.
