The name Shawn

The name Shawn is both a boy's name and a girl's name of Irish origin meaning "God is gracious".
This name is the anglicized version of the Irish Séan, which itself comes from the Hebrew name John.
Alternate spellings include Shawne, Shaun and Sean.

As for spelling it Sean, I'm glad my mom didn't go that route with my name. That spelling always made me think of the word "seen". I feel that the spelling "Shawn" is the best way. IMO

When there is an order that is seen, the disorder around it becomes more conspicuous.
