Sheenagh Origin and Meaning

The name Sheenagh is a girl's name.

Sheenagh is a feminine name of Irish and Scottish Gaelic origin, a variant of Sinéad or Sheena, which are Gaelic forms of Jane or Janet. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." Sheenagh has a melodic quality with its soft 'sh' sound and the gentle ending. While not among the most common names, it has maintained a quiet presence particularly in Irish and Scottish communities. The spelling with the '-agh' ending gives it a distinctly Celtic flavor, connecting it to the rich linguistic heritage of the Gaelic languages. Sheenagh projects an image of quiet strength and grace, with a touch of Celtic mystique.
