Shannon

The gender-neutral name Shannon is a lovely combination of the Irish name Sionainn, meaning "possessor of wisdom," and the phrase sean-amhan, meaning "old" or "old river." Together, they form the intriguing meaning of "wise river." River Shannon is also the longest river in the British Isles, adding to its natural grace. With a name like Shannon, your little water baby is sure to grow up with a love for nature and a fierce desire to explore the Emerald Isle.
