The spelling of the name "Shivawn" is not entirely straightforward, as it is a derivative of the Irish name "Siobhán". In IPA phonetic transcription, "Siobhán" would be pronounced /ʃəˈvɔːn/. The "v" in "Siobhán" is pronounced like a "w" sound, hence the alternate spelling "Shivawn". This name is often used as a girl's name and means "God is gracious" in Irish. Although less common outside of Ireland, "Shivawn" remains a beloved name with a unique spelling.
