Shawnie is a modern, primarily Scottish and Irish feminine name, a variant of Shawna or Shauna, which themselves derive from the Gaelic Seán, the Irish form of John. The name ultimately carries the Hebrew meaning "God is gracious." While there are no widely famous historical bearers of Shawnie itself, its root name Seán has been borne by figures such as Irish folk singer Seán Ó Riada and Scotland's former First Minister Jack McConnell (whose birth name is John, but the connection stands). Placewise, the related name Shawn appears in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, though this is indirectly linked. As a further note, Shawnie saw modest use in Scotland from the 1980s onward, often chosen for its softer, modern feel compared to the more traditional Shauna.
