Sheena-May is in Origin.
Sheena-May blends Scottish Gaelic and English elements. Sheena is the anglicized form of Scottish Gaelic Sìne, the local equivalent of Jane, ultimately from Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious.” May may refer to the month name (Latin Maius, linked to the Roman goddess Maia and themes of growth and renewal) or serve as a pet form of Mary (from Hebrew Miriam, with debated senses such as “beloved” or “bitter”) or of Margaret (“pearl”). Together, the compound suggests grace united with springtime renewal or belovedness, depending on interpretation.
Used as Sheena-May, Sheena Mae, or Sheena May, the name reflects a modern British and Irish fondness for double-barrelled girls’ names. Sheena rose in the Anglophone world during the mid-late 20th century, aided by pop culture (e.g., Sheena, Queen of the Jungle; singer Sheena Easton). Related forms include Sìne, Jane, Jean, Jeanne; variant spellings include Mae and Maye.
