Sheehan is an Irish surname. It is an anglicized version of Ó Síodhacháin in Irish Gaelic, and means ‘peaceful’. Most often found in Roman Catholic families from Counties Cork and Limerick.

Pronounced ‘she-in’ (the second ‘h’ is silent. Most people incorrectly pronounce the second ‘h’, however.

There may be a similar Islamic name. As a Sheehan, I was asked if it was an Arabic surname regularly.
