Curiosity kills those who don't know any better...

 As for me, I guess you could say I know better, most of the time anyway...so once again my curiosity of unexplained things in this world brings to me to this post with a link to show you how bigfoot works...hehe

Yeah I know, some of you are saying to yourselves this guy is retarded to think bigfoot is real and people actually take the time to put a website up talking about him (it). Why not? is what I say, there are so many unexplained things in the world that I don't understand, who is to say this isn't just something else we, the human race as a whole, just aren't ready to understand...along with UFO's and all that stuff...?

The Norman French Jean

Sean is an Irish Language name. It is Irish borrowing of the Norman French Jean. Anglicisations of the name comprise Sean, Shane, Shayne, Shan, Shon, Shaine and Shawn. The name Shane comes from the Ulster pronunciation of the name, while the names Shaun, Shawn or Sean come from the way it is prominent in Munster, Leinster and Connacht.

In 1066, the Norman duke, William the Conqueror overpowered England, where the Norman French name Jehan/Johan came to be.

In 1066, the Norman duke, William the Conqueror conquered England, where the Norman French name Jehan / Johan (pronounced [dʒɛˈan]) came to be pronounced Jean, and spelled John. The Norman from the Welsh Marches, with the Norman King of England's mandate conquered Ireland in the 1170s. The Irish nobility was put back by Norman nobles, some of whom bore the Norman French name Johan or the Anglicised name John. The Irish adapted the name to their own pronunciation and spelling, producing the name Seán.


Sean is usually pronounced Shawn (Seán), but in the northern parts of Ireland, it is said "Shan", "Shen" or "Shayn", thus leading to the variant Shane.
