Siobhana Origin and Meaning
The name Siobhana is a girl's name.
Siobhana represents a creative extension of the traditional Irish name Siobhán (pronounced shi-VAWN), which is the Irish equivalent of Joan or Joanna, meaning 'God is gracious.' By adding the 'a' ending, Siobhana creates a more elaborate form that maintains the Celtic heritage while creating a new variation. The name continues to use the distinctive Irish spelling with 'bh' representing the 'v' sound, though pronunciation challenges may occur for those unfamiliar with Celtic naming conventions. While much rarer than the original Siobhán, Siobhana might appeal to parents with Irish heritage seeking something unique yet connected to tradition. The name carries a melodious quality and the potential nickname Shiv or Shivvy.
