Gracious
Shone is an anglicized phonetic spelling of the Irish name Seán, which itself is the Irish form of John. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'Yahweh is gracious'. While rare as a first name, it is more commonly encountered as a surname or a variant of the Scottish name Sholto.
