Shown Vad efternamn betyder
Welsh: from the personal name Siôn a Welsh pronunciation of John. English: nickname from Middle English shone ‘fair comely handsome’ (Old English scēone) synonymous with Sheen 2 Shine 3 and Shinn. English: from the Middle English personal name Shoufin Showin Shoune perhaps an Anglicized pronunciation of an unrecorded Old Norse Skógfinnr (from skógr ‘wood forest’ + the singular form of the tribal name Finnar ‘Finns’). However it is uncertain that this name survived into the modern period. Probably also an Americanized form of German Schön (see Schoen) or its cognate Schaun; compare Shoun.
