It's pronounced 'Sha-von'. It's a lovely Celtic name, but I think I would go with a different spelling. Not many people will be able to figure it out (as you can see by the multitude of wrong answers you received!).
I went to school with a girl whose name was Chevonne, and I knew another girl called Shavonne. I prefer the one with the C, but that's just me.

It's Irish. We had an Irish family at our childcare center. The eldest daughter was Siobhan. They pronounced it :
Sha-von.
(Like "shut" and "on")
