Meanings

Shannon ("wise river") is an Irish name, Anglicised from Sionainn. Alternative spellings include Shannen, Shanon, Shannan, Seanan, and Siannon. The variant Shanna is an Anglicisation of Sionna ("possessor of wisdom").
Sionainn derives from the Irish name Abha na tSionainn for the River Shannon. Because the suffix ain indicates a diminutive in Irish, the name is sometimes mistranslated as "little wise one".

River in Ireland, the name is something like "old man river," from a Proto-Celtic word related to Irish sean "old," from PIE root *sen- "old."

The Shannon is the longest river in Ireland. From Irish words sean, means: old, wise, river. Wise old river, little wise one, daughter of the moon.
