Shaune

Shaune is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of 'Shaun' or 'Shane,' which derive from the Irish name Seán (a form of John). The name ultimately traces back to Hebrew origins meaning 'God is gracious.' The feminine spelling with an 'e' ending gives this traditionally masculine name a softer touch while maintaining its strong qualities.
