A name that means "god is gracious (scottish jane)".

Sheena is the anglicised spelling of the Scottish Gaelic Sìne, which is the Gaelic form of Jane — and so carries the ancient meaning God is gracious.

Familiar from the singer Sheena Easton, it has a bright, friendly sound and a warm Celtic heritage.

Simple and gracious, Sheena is Jane with a Scottish accent.

God is gracious — a Scottish Jane.
