Sean, also spelled Seán (or sometimes Séan) in Hiberno-English, is a male given name of Irish and English origin. It comes from the Irish versions of the Biblical Hebrew name Yohanan (יוֹחָנָן), Seán (anglicized as Shaun/Shawn/Shon) and Séan (Ulster variant; anglicized Shane/Shayne); rendered John in English and Johannes/Johann/Johan in other Germanic languages. The Norman French Jehan (see Jean) is another version.
