Shannon, MacShannon, and O'Shannon are Anglicised Irish and Scottish surnames that derive from the Gaelic word ''seanachaidh'', which means "skilled storyteller".〔 ''Seanachaidh'' is a corruption of the Old Irish word ''senchaid''. Other forms of the name are Gilshenan and Giltennen. It is also connected to O'Shawnessey or O'Shannahan. Several old Gaelic names of Scottish and Irish people alike were Anglicised as Shannon, despite being unrelated. The 1990 United States Census found that ''Shannon'' was a very common surname (#679 out of 88,799) in the United States. ==See also== *Irish name *Scottish surnames *Shannon (given name) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shannon (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
