They are basically the same thing - rare Pokemon with different colors.
"Shining" was the first term used, clear evidence for this are old TCG-cards featuring 10 shining Pokemon which had the word "Shining" before a Pokemon's name, for example a "Shining Charizard.
"Shiny" is said to have arrived from fans of the Pokemon franchise in connection to the game boy games. Shiny has also been used in the anime.
Shiny was however an unofficial English term until it got mentioned in Black & White games.
