Shona

Meaning of Shona

Shona, born on the wind-swept moors of Scottish legend, glides through the air like a dewy breeze brushing the olive groves of Tuscany at first light; this feminine treasure – a Gaelic form of Seóna, itself the softened echo of Seon (the Celtic John, meaning “God is gracious”) – weaves ancestral grace into every syllable. Legend holds that even the staunchest Highland coo will lift its head at the gentle chant of Shona, evidence of a melody both earthy and ethereal. Its twin pronunciations (HOH-nuh in Gaelic, SHOH-nuh in English) shimmer with the same golden glow, nodding to mist-laden glens and terracotta terraces in equal measure, inviting each child to step into a mosaic of heritage and hope.
