It is the Irish spelling of the Biblical name John. The Norman French Jehan (see Jean) is another version. Seán is the source for Anglo Gaelic versions such as Shaun, Shawn and Shon. Séan reflects the Ulster pronunciation[2] and is anglicized Shane, Shaine or Shayne. For notable people named Sean, refer to List of people named Sean. OriginThe name originated in the Irish language. It is an adaption of the Anglo-Norman name Johan/John. In 1066, the Norman duke, William the Conqueror conquered England, where the Norman French name Jahan/Johan ({{IPA-enm|dʒɛˈan|}}) came to be pronounced Jean{{clarify|date=July 2015}}, and spelled John. The Norman from the Welsh Marches, with the Norman King of England's mandate invaded parts of Leinster and Munster in the 1170s. The Irish nobility in these areas were replaced by Norman nobles, some of whom bore the Norman French name Johan or the anglicised name John. The Irish adapted the name to their own pronunciation and spelling, producing the name Seán (or Seathan). Sean is commonly pronounced "Shawn" (Seán), but in the northern parts of Ireland (owing to a northern dialect), it is pronounced "Shan", "Shen" or "Shayn" (Séan, with the fada on the e instead of the a{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}), thus leading to the variant Shane. The name was once the common equivalent of John in Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland (largely identifiable with the Highlands and Islands), but has been supplanted by a vulgarization of its address form: Iain or Ian{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}}. In Gaelic, when addressing someone by name, the first letter is lenited (unless it is an l, n, or r). In writing, this was once represented by placing a dot above the lenited (or aspirated) character. Since the introduction of printing type, this has been represented by adding the letter h after. The effect is to modify the sound of the lenited character (mh, by example, sounds similar to an English v) or to silence it. The letter s is always silenced when lenited. If the person addressed is male, the last vowel in the name must also be slender (I or e). If it is broad (a, o, or u), an i is inserted after it. By this means, the Gaelic Seamus ("Shay-muss") becomes a Sheamuis (a Hay-mish), and has been anglicised in Scotland as Hamish. The Gaelic surname MacPhearais (Mac + Pearas, indicating son of Pierce, in which Pearas has been subjected to the same process for different reasons) was frequently anglicised by removing the "Ma-" of "Mac" and rendering the remainder as it sounded to English ears: Corish (it is also anglicised in a variety of other ways, including Pearson). When addressing someone named Seán in Gaelic, it becomes a Sheain ("a Ee-in"), and in Scotland was generally adapted into Scots and Highland English as Eathain, Eoin, Iain, and Ian (John has traditionally been more commonly used in the Scots-speaking Lowlands than any form of Seán). Even in Highland areas where Gaelic is still spoken, these anglicisations are now more common than Seán or Seathan. In other languages
