Sinaed
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sinaed: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1988.
The name Sinéad is the Irish Gaelic form of Janet or Jane, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious', and is thus a close cousin of the Scottish name Seonaid. Its most famous bearer is the late Grammy-winning Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, known for her haunting voice and fearless activism. While there are no major towns named directly for the name, the root appears in numerous place names, such as the River Shannon. A notable variant is the Scottish Gaelic form, Seonag, though Sinéad itself has seen steady use in Scotland since the 1970s, partly due to O'Connor's global prominence and the cultural ties between Scotland and Ireland.
