Shianne

Meaning of Shianne

Shianne, a feminine given name emerging in late 20th-century Anglophone contexts, is often interpreted as a crafted fusion of the Gaelic sí (“fairy”) and the Latin-rooted suffix -anne, which traces back to Anna (from Greek and Hebrew Ḥannah, meaning “grace”), thereby weaving together Celtic mythos and classical refinement. Phonetically rendered /ʃiːˈæn/ in English, it unfolds in two syllables with a clear, harmonious resonance. An analytical review of US Social Security data reveals that Shianne reached its apex in popularity in 1997—attaining rank 590—before gradually descending into the lower 900s, culminating in ten recorded births and rank 940 in 2024. This trajectory underscores the name’s enduring yet selective charm among parents seeking a blend of ethereal provenance and scholarly sophistication.
