Best Answer

The first name Shea comes from Séaghdha, which, according to Mike Campbell's Behind the Name, probably comes from the Gaelic for admirable or hawk-like.

In the case of Atlanta Braves star Chipper Jones's son Shea ... he's named after Shea Stadium, the stadium where Chipper repeatedly devastated the New York Mets.

Shea Stadium was named after William Shea, the lawyer who helped bring National League baseball (though generally neither admirable nor hawk-like baseball) back to New York.

No. It's a modern combination of the popular elements of Shay- + -Lyn. Shea/Shay is an Anglized version of the Irish name Séaghdha, but just adding the English -lynn to an Irish name doesn't mean it's still Irish.
