Etymology of SHINEAD

The name "Sinead" is of Irish origin and is derived from the Irish name "Sinéad" or "Síne", which ultimately comes from the Old Irish name "Sínech". The name "Síneach" is believed to be a diminutive form of the Irish word "síth", which means "peace". Therefore, the name "Sinead" can be interpreted to mean "peaceful" or "gracious". The name became popular outside of Ireland due to the success of the Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor, who rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s.
