Shovonne Origin and Meaning

The name Shovonne is a girl's name.

Shovonne is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Siobhan, the Irish form of Joan or Joanna, ultimately derived from Hebrew meaning "God is gracious." This Anglicized phonetic spelling emerged primarily in American usage during the late 20th century when parents sought unique spellings of traditional names. Unlike the original Irish Siobhan (pronounced "shi-VAWN"), the spelling Shovonne makes the pronunciation more intuitive for English speakers. The name remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents looking for distinctive names with Irish roots but accessible pronunciation. Shovonne carries the same warm meaning as its traditional counterpart while showcasing an individualistic spelling that sets its bearers apart.
