Siobhán (Irish pronunciation: [ˈʃɪwaːn̪ˠ] or ; /ʃəˈvɔːn/), is a female Irish name. It is an Irish form of Joan, which is derived from the Anglo-Norman Jehanne. Joan is the feminine form of the Old French Johanne, Joanne, from the Latin Ioanna, Iohanna, from the Greek Iōanna. According to the Gospel, this name was borne by a follower of Jesus.
The popularity of the actress Siobhán McKenna (1923–1986) helped the resurgence of the name (without an accent) in the twentieth century.
