Gracious
Sheny is often considered a diminutive or variant of Shena or Sheena, which are Scottish Gaelic forms of Jane. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious'. In some Spanish-speaking contexts, it is used as a modern, creative variant of names like Xenia or Yesenia.
