History & Origin

Shevonne is a phonetic respelling of Siobhán, the Irish equivalent of Joan and Jane, from the Hebrew Yohanan, 'God is gracious'. Families who loved the sound but not the puzzle of 'Siobhán' sometimes chose this transparent spelling.

It appeared in small numbers as Irish names gained ground, reaching its faint high point in the late nineteen-seventies. A Shevonne today is likely Gen-X, and while Siobhán endures, this respelling stayed rare.

Did you know? Shevonne exists so English readers say Siobhán correctly — its sound spelled out — and it peaked around 1979.
