Shon is an intriguing yet underutilized given name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'peace'. It's often associated with the phrase 'shalom', which translates to peace in English, making it a powerful and symbolic choice for parents seeking a meaningful name for their child. Pronounced as /ʃɒn/, it shares its pronunciation with the more common Scottish name Sean, but maintains its unique Hebrew heritage. Shon is also reminiscent of other names like Shawn or Shannon, which could make it familiar to some while still standing out due to its distinct spelling and origin.
The name Shon experienced varied popularity over these years, with a notable peak between 1966 and 1971, reaching its highest point in 1971 with 28 births. However, it seems the name's usage declined significantly after 1977, with only occasional births recorded until 1996.
