Phonetic variation of Siobhan

Shavonni Origin and Meaning

The name Shavonni is a girl's name.

Shavonni appears to be a modern variant spelling related to names like Shavonne, Chavonne, or Siobhán. The ultimate root may trace back to the Irish name Siobhán (pronounced shi-VAWN), the Irish equivalent of Joan or Joanna, meaning 'God is gracious.' The spelling Shavonni represents a phonetic adaptation with a distinctive ending. The name emerged in usage records primarily in the late 20th century, with limited documented history before that period. The '-ni' ending may reflect a trend toward creating melodic name variations with Italian-style suffixes that became popular in the United States from the 1970s onward. The name remains relatively uncommon in official records.
