History & Origin

Chivonne is one of several sounded-out takes on Siobhan that surfaced as the Irish name gained notice in America. It stayed rare, touching a small high around 1979 before fading by the later nineteen-eighties.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, since the name was uncommon in any spelling. A girl named Chivonne at that high would be in her mid-forties today. The phonetic spelling made an unfamiliar Irish name easier to read at a glance.

Did you know? Siobhan is the Irish counterpart of Joan and Jane, all feminine forms of John; its spelling puzzles English readers, so respellings like Chivonne and Shavonne render the shih-VON sound directly.
