Shavonnie Origin and Meaning
Shavonnie is a modern feminine name that appears to be a variant or elaboration of names like Shavon or Shavonne. These names likely developed as variations of Siobhán, an Irish name meaning 'God is gracious.' The addition of the '-nie' suffix creates a distinctive sound pattern while maintaining the melodic quality of the root name. Shavonnie emerged in the United States primarily in the late 20th century, though it remains relatively uncommon in official records. The name represents the creative naming patterns that developed in various American communities during this period, where traditional names were modified with distinctive prefixes and suffixes. Shavonnie has never ranked in the top 1000 names in the U.S., making it a unique choice that carries both melodic appeal and individuality.
