As a female name in Ireland itself, 'Shannon Murphy' would be 'Shannon Ní Mhurchú'.

The River Shannon is An tSionainn.

The surname can be an anglicization of:

O'Shannon from Ó Seanáin

Giltenan from Mac Giolla tSeanáin

Gilshenan from Mac Giolla Seanáin

O'Shanahan from Ó Seanacháin

The name is still spelled Shannon in Ireland, even when the last name is in an Irish form. Shannon Murphy > Shannon Ní Mhurchú.

It is spelled Seán.

The older spelling was Seaghán which in E. Ulster was pronounced as 'shane' rather than 'shaun'.
