The Irish name Séan (shawn) is taken as a parallel for John, and Seosamh (show-sav) is taken as Joseph. Eoin (owen) was an earlier form in Irish and still current, the obsolete Ioseph was used as a clerical name in Ireland before the Normans. Seán and Seosamh show the influence of the French forms which prevailed. In case you were looking for a Scottish Gaelic "translation" Iain (Ian, John), Eòsaph, Iòsaph
