Meaning & History

Adaptation of Sean or its variants, also in use among the Japanese in recent decades.
In kanji, it is most commonly written with a shō kanji, like 翔 meaning "flight," 彰 meaning "clear" or 尚 meaning "esteem," combined with 音 (on) meaning "sound," though the second kanji can also be written as 雲 (un) meaning "cloud."

It is also used as a variant transcription of more commonly used Shoon.
