Irish name. Sean (variant of John) begat the variant Shaun (Gaelic masculine spelling) and Shawn (Gaelic feminine spelling.)
I'm a guy, and I have known a few female Shawn's... a ton of male Shawn's and a few male Sean's. I know of only 3 (spanning living in three different states all in the south) guys ever spelled the traditionally masculine form of Shaun.
This is my son's first name. My name book said that Shawn means "god is gracious", and he truly is for blessing me with my sweetpea!
