Siobhán (Irish pronunciation: [ˈʃɪwaːn̪ˠ] or [ʃəˈvˠaːn̪ˠ]; English pronunciation: /ʃəˈvɔːn/), is a female Irish name. It is an Irish form of Joan, which is derived from the Anglo-Norman Jehanne.[1] Joan is the female form of John.[2]
The popularity of the actress Siobhán McKenna (1923–1986) helped the resurgence of the name (without an accent) in the twentieth century.[1]
