Sheannon is a feminine name that appears to be a modern variation of Shannon, which originated as an Irish surname derived from the River Shannon, Ireland's longest river. The added syllable gives Sheannon a more elaborate and distinctive quality. While Shannon gained popularity as a given name in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, Sheannon remains quite rare.
