Siovhan

Siovhan is a feminine name representing a unique spelling variant of Siobhan, the Irish form of Joan or Joanna. Pronounced roughly as 'shi-VAWN,' this name has Gaelic origins and means 'God is gracious.' The distinctive spelling with 'vh' instead of the traditional 'bh' helps English speakers approximate the correct pronunciation, as the traditional Irish spelling often challenges those unfamiliar with Gaelic phonetics. While less common than the standard Siobhan, this variant maintains the name's Irish cultural heritage while offering a slightly more accessible form. Siovhan carries the same elegant sound and cultural richness as its traditional counterpart, appealing to parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and distinctive character.

Pronounced shiv-AWN.

As of October 2026, Siovhan ranked #11806 in US births in 1983 SSA.
