Sheona

Girl name · 74 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sheona: 74 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 14 births in 1975.

Sheona is a feminine name of Scottish Gaelic origin, a variant of Shona—itself a modern anglicised form of Seona, the Scottish equivalent of Jane or Jean, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” It gained popularity in the 20th century, particularly in Scotland. While no globally famous bearers immediately spring to mind, the name shares its roots with the Irish Siobhán and the Welsh Siân, all beloved Celtic forms. There are no notable places directly named after a Sheona, but the name’s connection
