Seane

Irish variation of John

"God is gracious"

Seane Origin and Meaning

The name Seane is a boy's name.

Seane is a variation of Sean or Shane, names with Gaelic origins. Sean is the Irish form of John, derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "God is gracious," while Shane comes from the Irish name Seaghán. The spelling Seane creates a hybrid that maintains the pronunciation of Sean (SHAWN) while adding a distinctive final 'e' that may influence some to pronounce it as two syllables (see-AYN). This variant spelling remains quite rare compared to the more common Sean and Shane, which have both enjoyed widespread popularity throughout the English-speaking world. Seane offers a subtle twist on these classic Irish names, providing familiarity while standing apart from more conventional spellings.
