Sheena-Mae is English, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Sheena-Mae blends a Scottish Gaelic-rooted first name with a classic middle element. Sheena is the Anglicized form of Scottish Gaelic Sìne, the local equivalent of Jane, ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious.” Mae is a spelling of May, used as a given name from the month (from the Roman goddess Maia, associated with growth and motherhood), and it also overlaps with diminutives of Mary (“beloved/bitter,” debated) and Margaret (“pearl”). Together, the double name suggests a gracious, spring-bright charm.

Sheena gained Anglophone recognition in the mid‑20th century through the comic and TV heroine Sheena and later singer Sheena Easton, while Mae flourished as a cozy middle or compound-name element in the early 1900s and remains popular in hyphenated forms. Sheena-Mae appears in modern usage across the UK, North America, and especially the Philippines.
