"Scottish Forenames" (Donald Whyte) says:
"SIOBHAN (f) Gael. A rendering of Judith which apears also as Siubhan, Shavon, Shavonn, Shervan and Shevonne. The phonetic mode is Sh'vaun. In Ireland it is often an anglicised form of Susan, and Judith can be synonymous with Julie. Siobhan McKenna (1923-86) was a famous Irish actress. Today actress Siobhan Redmond appears in many TV productions."
"Celtic Baby Names" (Judy Sierra) says:
"Siobhán f. (shi-VAWN) From the Norman French name, Jehanne, a feminine form of Jehan (the equivalent of the English John). A nickname is Siobhánín (shi-VAWN-een)."
