Shonnah Origin and Meaning

The name Shonnah is a girl's name.

Shonnah is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Shona or Shauna. The name Shona derives from the Scottish Gaelic name Seonag, a feminine form of John, ultimately meaning 'God is gracious.' The alternative spelling with the double 'n' and ending 'h' gives it a distinctive appearance while maintaining the melodic pronunciation. Shonnah is quite rare, appealing to parents who want a name with Celtic roots but with a unique spelling variation. The name carries associations with Scottish and Irish heritage while its unusual spelling helps distinguish it from more common variants. The soft consonants and open vowel sounds give Shonnah a gentle, flowing quality.
