Shavonne is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Siobhán, often considered a combination of the phonetic element sha and Yvonne.EtymologySiobhán is the Irish form of Jehanne, a Norman French variant of Jeanne, which is the modern French feminine form of Iohannes (Latin for John). The ultimate root is the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yoḥanan), meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The Anglicization of Siobhán into Shavonne reflects the pronunciation in modern Irish, with possible influence from the French name Yvonne.Usage and VariantsShavonne is primarily used in English and African American communities.
