Swiss

Shants. Tschantz.
Meaning:
Swiss German variant of French "Jean."
Additional Information:
It appears to be pronounced many ways in the United States. For example, my family pronounces it ShAWnts rather than ChAWnts. Other families pronounce it Shants - rhymes with "ants."
However, my great-grandfather, a second generation Swiss American, pronounced it ChAWnts while he was still alive (and was very insistent that it be pronounced that way). I am not certain of how or why the Ch sound changed to an Sh sound.
