Meaning & origin
Sharea is a rare modern American name first recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 1973. It reached its peak popularity in 1983, during the 1980s decade, but has never appeared in the top 1,000 names nationally. The name likely derives from the surname Share or is a variant of Sharia, though its exact origin remains uncertain. With a trajectory classified as stable, Sharea has maintained a consistent but very low level of usage over the decades, never achieving widespread adoption. Its top states of occurrence are not statistically significant due to its rarity. Families choosing Sharea today may appreciate its distinctive sound and modern feel.
Sharea appears to be a modern American coinage, likely formed from the surname Share (itself from Middle English 'schere' meaning 'share') or as a feminine variant of the name Sharia, which has Arabic origins meaning 'law'. The name has been recorded in U.S. Social Security data since 1973, but its precise derivation remains unclear.
