Sheona
Sheona Origin and Meaning
Sheona is a feminine name of Scottish Gaelic origin, considered a variant of Sheena or Shona, which derive from the masculine name Seonaidh (a Gaelic form of John). The original meaning connects to Hebrew origins signifying 'God is gracious.' With its distinctive vowel combination and soft sound, Sheona has maintained a quiet presence primarily in Scotland and other regions with Scottish heritage. The name evokes the lyrical quality of Gaelic names while remaining relatively easy to pronounce for English speakers. Though never reaching widespread popularity, Sheona appeals to parents seeking a connection to Scottish culture or those drawn to its gentle, flowing sound. The name carries a subtle elegance and cultural richness that distinguishes it from more common choices.
