The River Shannon is An tSionainn.

The last name can be an anglicization of:

O'Shannon from Ó Seanáin

Giltenan from Mac Giolla tSeanáin (Clare)

Gilshenan from Mac Giolla Seanáin ?(Fermanagh)

O'Shanahan from Ó Seanacháin (Clare)

In Ireland itself, 'Shannon Murphy' would be 'Shannon Ní Mhurchú'.
