Sheenhan Surname Definition:

Woulfe equates Sheenan with Synan, but I think Sheenan must be regarded as the almost similar name of an entirely different sept, viz. Ó Síonáin. It has long been found in Co. Tyrone and adjacent areas. The Registrar-General's report shows that it has been to some extent absorbed by Shannon in the Clones district.
