Seane Origin and Meaning

The name Seane is a girl's name.

Seane is a distinctive feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a feminine variation of Sean (the Irish form of John, meaning 'God is gracious'), a creative spelling of Shawn/Shaun, or possibly derived from a surname or place name. The name might also relate to the Irish word 'sean' meaning 'old' or 'ancient.' Seane emerged in limited usage during the late 20th century when gender-neutral names and creative spellings became more common. The name's unusual spelling combined with its straightforward pronunciation gives it a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to traditional Celtic naming patterns. Seane projects a modern, slightly androgynous quality while its potential Irish roots add cultural depth and heritage.
