Both are actually used. Seán is from the Norman form of John, Jehan, and Eoin is directly from the Greek form, Ioannes (as is Ioan and possibly Ian). Ian is the Scottish form.
Include the fada [long mark] on the a, so it is written as Seán. Sean is actually the Irish word for old. Sean is pronounced shan, and Seán is pronounced shawn.
