Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Siobhon: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1991.
Siobhon is a less common anglicised spelling of Siobhán, the Irish Gaelic form of Joan, which traces back through Old French to the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." This variant preserves the traditional pronunciation shiv-AWN while offering a distinct written form. Perhaps the most celebrated bearer was the legendary Irish stage and screen actress Siobhán McKenna, whose powerful performances in works like _The Playboy of the Western World_ brought Gaelic names to international attention. Singer Siobhan Fahey, a founding member of the pop groups Bananarama and Shakespears Sister, also carried the name into the global charts. While no major places bear the exact spelling Siobhon, the root name shares its Hebrew origin with many Scottish favourites such as Jean, Jane, and Seonaid, all meaning "God is gracious."
