Origin of the name Sean
The name Sean has several variants of origin, its roots should be sought in the common Proto-Indo-European language. This language was known in Europe, North Africa, India, and the Arabian Peninsula.
The most common version is Irish. The ancient Gaelic language was spoken in Ireland before its conquest by the Normans. In Gaelic, Seán is a form of the name John, from the biblical John, “God is merciful.”
For a long time in Ireland the name Sean was used in the English spelling Shane or Shaun. But recently, for patriotic reasons, the Irish often give their children Gaelic names, while preserving their original spelling. The name Sean is the second most popular name in Ireland, followed by Conor.
The second version is rooted in oriental languages. So, in Mongolian Chon means “wolf”. In Persian it means “spirit, soul”, “life, energy”, “fierce, deadly”. In Kyrgyz it means “big, huge.”
The name Sean is common not only in Ireland, but also in the USA, where there are many people from the islands. Thanks to Hollywood actors, it also has a certain popularity in Russia.
