Help[Facts] Re: Shauneen
in reply to a message by Shauneen
Here you go, all you ever needed to know.
Shauneen is an Irish name and more frequently used in the South of Ireland as Wee Sean, as in the Daddy is called Sean, his son who is also called Sean would be known as Seanin.
I personally have the English spelling of Shauneen, but there are others. It is a female name in Northern Ireland, where I am from.
I was also told as a child, and honestly my family does love me, that Shauneen can also mean 'Little John Bull', John Bull was the cartoon characterisation of England. And as such in certain parts of Ireland to be called a 'right Seanin' was not a compliment. Who cares, people always have to ask me twice and I live in Ireland .....
I hope that answers some of your questions.
