I was named for the River Shannon, and I always heard the "small and wise" meaning growing up. I've also heard "old and wise," but not as often as the other one.

Re: Meaning For Shannon?
that is my name. I have always loved my name!
I always associate it with the river, which I think is still a good meaning.
This is one of those unisex names that I love for both.
Same here!
