Shonah
sh(o)-nah
Origin:Scottish
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:Yahweh is gracious
Though the feminine name Shonah ends with a -h, it still sounds the same as Shona, its closest variant. Both Shonah and Shona are Anglicized forms of Seonag and Seònaid, two Scottish Gaelic monikers. Deriving from the Hebrew Yohanan, Shonah means "Yahweh is gracious," a definition it shares with John, Jane, and Janet! Whether it reminds you of your religious connection or your Scottish roots, Shonah is a beautiful choice for your new addition.
