Shawnea is of African origin, derived from the Ashanti tribe's word 'Shawn', meaning 'born on Tuesday'. It is a unique and distinctive name, often favored for its rhythmic sound and unusual spelling.
"Shawnea experienced a peak in popularity during the late '80s to early '90s with seven births each in 1988 and 1991, followed by six births in 1998. However, its usage has been relatively consistent throughout the years, with five births occurring at least four times between 1972 and 1990."
