Shevon is English, Hebrew, Irish in Origin.

Shevon is an English phonetic spelling of Irish Siobhán, a Gaelicized form of Anglo-Norman Jehanne or Jehane. That form belongs to the wider John family, passing through Old French and Medieval Latin Johanna from Greek Iōanna. Its earliest recoverable root is Hebrew Yôḥānān or Yəhōḥānān, built from the divine element Yah and the verb ḥanan, to be gracious; the literal sense is God is gracious.

In Ireland, Siobhán was treated as an equivalent of Joan, Johanna, or Hannah after Anglo-Norman naming entered Irish use in the Middle Ages. The spelling Shevon belongs to later English-speaking usage, replacing Irish bh with a more transparent v sound. Related forms include Shavon and Shavonne, especially in North American records, while the traditional Irish spelling remained more visible in Ireland and among Irish-diaspora families. The name is uncommon in U.S. birth data and has appeared only intermittently in recent generations.
