Assuming you mean the surname Shannon, there are three surnames in the

original Irish Gaelic:

a. Ó Seanáin (m) Ni Sheanáin (f)

b. Mac Giolla tSeanáin (m) Nic GiollatSeanáin (f) (actually Giltenan)

c. Ó Seanacháin (m) Ni Sheanacháin (actually Shanahan)

Traditionally the female form would be what we refer to as the 'maiden name';

the married name being the genitive form.
