Is it not more likely to be from bàn (pale, fair-haired) than bean? I don’t know much about Irish, but certainly Scottish Gaelic speakers like to use hair colours as sort-of-surnames. Rob Roy is a good example, the Roy part being from ruadh (red, redheaded)
It’s a nice coincidence that Shawnbawn is blond himself, of course
Oh it could be! I’ve no idea about the origin of his name.
His name just coincidentally happens to be spelled the same way as two different Irish words like beach or fear, etc., so I jokingly pronounce his name as though they’re the Irish words :P
