Sheynnis is a modern Latina coinage — echoing Shay, from Irish, 'admirable, stately', and the Yiddish Shayna, 'beautiful, lovely' (routes layered, which we flag). It has no single fixed traditional root; the lyrical sound carries it (Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua, the first Central American Miss Universe; said 'SHAY-niss').

It registers thinly in records. Rare, beautiful-or-admirable in echo, and lyrical.
