Sian is of Welsh origin (not Irish). It is the Welsh translation of the English name Jane and also means "God is gracious".

Spell it like Siân, pronounce it like Sh - ar - n.

Welsh origin - the English equivalent is Jane.

The 'Si' is pronounced 'sh' as in ship, shout and shed. The 'â' is elongated by the circumflex (or in Welsh - to bach (toe bac-ck) - which means little roof) so is pronounced like an 'ar' as in start, bar and car. The 'n' is a short sound, as in can, pan and run.

I have frequently been frustrated by people miss-spelling and miss-pronouncing my name...but I wouldn't choose another one. The thing that annoys me the most, is when someone asks you how to spell your name, but doesn't wait/listen for your answer, before they begin writing, and have already incorrectly put "sh" on the page....

My name is Siân, and I pronounce it SHAN- rhymes with Dan.

This is probably because I am from the north of Ireland (near Belfast) however- going with the original Welsh pronunciation is the best bet unless someone specifies! :)
