Seann

Irish variation of John
"God is gracious"

Seann Origin and Meaning

The name Seann is a boy's name.

Seann is a masculine name primarily representing an alternative spelling of Sean, the Irish form of John. While Sean (pronounced 'shawn') comes from the Irish version of the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious,' the doubled 'n' in Seann might be an Anglicized modification to emphasize the pronunciation or distinguish it from 'seen.' This spelling variation maintains the name's Celtic heritage while creating a slightly distinctive appearance. Though less common than the traditional Sean spelling, Seann has gained some usage in English-speaking countries. The name carries the rich historical and cultural connections of its original form, with links to Ireland and Scotland. Popular in the late 20th century, Sean/Seann remains recognized while no longer being among the most common names.
