Sheenah Origin and Meaning

The name Sheenah is a girl's name.

Sheenah is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Sheena, which derives from the Scottish Gaelic name Sìne (a form of Jane or Joan) meaning 'God is gracious.' Alternatively, it could relate to the Irish word 'sídhe' (pronounced 'shee'), referring to fairy folk in Celtic mythology, thus carrying connotations of magic and otherworldliness. The name might also connect to the Hebrew word 'shinah' meaning 'beautiful.' Sheenah has never been extremely common but saw modest usage in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century. Its melodic quality and exotic spelling give it a distinctive, gentle charm while maintaining cultural connections to Celtic heritage.
