Sheenna
Sheenna Origin and Meaning
Sheenna represents a variant spelling of Sheena, which itself derives from the Scottish Gaelic name Sìneag, a feminine diminutive form of Sine (the Scottish form of Jane), ultimately stemming from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' The doubled 'n' adds a distinctive touch to this already melodic name. Popular in Scotland and gaining wider recognition elsewhere during the mid-20th century, particularly after the 1955 hit song 'Sheena Is a Jungle Queen.' The name carries a blend of Celtic heritage and modern appeal, with the unique spelling offering additional distinction. Though less common than in previous decades, Sheenna maintains an exotic, feminine quality with its flowing sound and unusual spelling, appealing to parents seeking a name with Scottish roots but a contemporary twist.
