@dthomas,
There is no equivalant name as it's a Gaelic-Irish name. Also, Be aware that Hebrew alphabet and fonts would be...ummm,...Greek to you. Seeing that Siobhan in English translation is Irish form of Jehanne, a Norman French variant of JEANNE (Siobhan is another Irish form of Joan meaning "God is gracious)." A popular name in Ireland where the anglicised versions are often used). With that being said, you're still no closer.

A baby's parents who are Jewish choose whatever Hebrew name they like and identify with the most.

@livi s,
That is incorrect regarding Hebrew that equivalnet name. Please read the previous posts. See my earlier post. There IS no Hebrew equiv. name for Sheevon. Siobhan is an Irish-Gealic name for the English version of Jeanne or Jane.

@Ragman,
... however, if the person desiring a literal transliteration of the name for the purpose of making a tatoo, livi s is correct.
