    Dia Dhuit, A Shéain!

    Yes, your name Shane is an anglicisation of mine, Seán meaning John. The accent is just shifted to the "e" instead of the "a"



    LEARMONTH is a Scottish Borders name. So therefore it would be of Lowland Scots origin, presumably. I couldn't find the exact etymology but the first element is likely from the Gaelic Leathar meaning half. This would refer to a land measure.
