Siobhan is Irish in Origin.
Siobhán (commonly written Siobhan in English) is the Irish Gaelic feminine form of Joan/Jeanne, ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." It arrived with Anglo-Norman settlers in the Middle Ages and was adapted to Gaelic phonology as Siobhán, pronounced shi-VAWN; the fada on the final vowel signals a long 'aw' sound.
Appearing in late medieval records among Hiberno-Norman and Gaelic families, the name waned, then surged during the Irish cultural revival and throughout 20th-century Ireland and the diaspora. Standard variants are Siobhán and Siobhan; anglicized spellings such as Shevaun, Shevaughn, Shivawn, and Shavonne also occur. Cognate or related forms include Joan, Joanna, Johanna, Jane, and Jeanne, with the modern Irish Sinéad as a close counterpart. Notable bearers include actress Siobhán McKenna and musician Siobhan Fahey.
