<p>Seán is the traditional Irish form of John, derived from the Norman French Jean. The name means 'God is gracious' and has been one of the most consistently popular names in Ireland for centuries. The accent over the 'a' (called a fada in Irish) lengthens the vowel sound, making the pronunciation 'shawn' rather than 'seen.' Seán embodies Irish cultural heritage and has remained a favorite choice for Irish families both within Ireland and throughout the global Irish diaspora. The name has strong connections to numerous notable Irish historical figures, athletes, and artists. While distinctly Irish, its relatively straightforward pronunciation has helped it travel well internationally. Seán represents a perfect balance between cultural specificity and cross-cultural accessibility, appealing to parents seeking a name with clear ethnic roots and meaningful heritage.</p>
