History & Origin

Chavonne is a phonetic rendering of Siobhan, the Irish form of Joan/Jehanne, from Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious'. It flourished as spelled-out versions spread.

Chavonne appeared mainly in the late nineteen-seventies and eighties and has since gone rare; the traditional Siobhan spelling has outlasted the phonetic variants.

Did you know? Because Siobhan's spelling puzzles English readers, American families in the nineteen-seventies coined phonetic forms like Chavonne, Shavonne, and Chevonne to keep the sound.
