Shane (name)
Shane is mainly a masculine given name. It is an anglicized version of the Irish name '' Seaghán/Seán'', which itself is cognate to the name ''John''. ''Shane'' comes from the way the name ''Seán'' is pronounced in the Ulster dialect of the Irish language, as opposed to ''Shaun'' or '' Shawn''. Shane is sometimes used as a feminine given name, from the Yiddish name ''Shayna'', meaning "beautiful". Shane is also a popular surname with the prefix "Mac", "Mc", or "O'", to form anglicized Irish surname patronyms. The surname was first recorded in Petty's census of Ireland (1659), which lists a Dermot McShane (i.e., Son of Shane). Variant forms include O'Shane, O'Shea, Séamus, Seán or Sean, Shaine, Shauna, Shawna, Shay, Shayna, and Shayne. The name Shane was popularized by Jack Schaefer's novel ''Shane'' (1949) and its eponymous 1953 movie adaptation, directed by George Stevens from a screenplay by A.B. Guthrie Jr. Given name Men *Shane, New Zealand singer *Shane Acker ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
