Siobhon Origin and Meaning

The name Siobhon is a girl's name.

Siobhon is a variant spelling of the traditional Irish name Siobhán (pronounced "shuh-VAWN"). The original Siobhán is the Irish equivalent of Joan or Joanna, derived from the Norman French name Jehanne, ultimately from Hebrew meaning "God is gracious." This particular spelling, Siobhon, attempts to maintain the Irish character while slightly altering the final syllable, perhaps to guide English speakers toward the correct pronunciation. While less common than the traditional spelling, Siobhon offers the same rich cultural heritage and melodic sound. The name remains strongly connected to Irish identity while being recognized internationally, appealing to parents with Irish ancestry or those who appreciate Celtic culture and distinctive names.
