Sibahn is in Origin.

Sibahn is a modern phonetic respelling of the Irish Gaelic name Siobhán (pronounced shi-VAWN), the Irish equivalent of Joan. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, via Norman French Jeanne, meaning “God is gracious.” In medieval Ireland, Siobhán entered through Anglo-Norman influence and appears in records of Gaelic and Hiberno-Norman families; the name remained distinctly Irish and saw strong revival in the 20th century, especially from the 1960s onward.

Common spellings include Siobhán (traditional, with fada), Siobhan (without diacritic). Anglicized or phonetic variants include Shevaun, Shivonne, Shavon/Shavonne, and, less commonly, Sibahn. Related forms across languages include Joan, Joanne, Johanna, Jane, Jean, Jeanne, Giovanna, Juana, and Ivana. Sibahn preserves the Irish sound while simplifying spelling for English contexts, though purists may prefer Siobhán.
