Meaning & origin
Shareen first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1941, establishing it as a mid-20th century arrival. The name achieved its peak usage in 1972, reflecting broader interest in Persian-inflected names during that era. Despite never reaching ranked status, it has maintained a stable trajectory, with continued but rare use through the latest year 2025. Shareen is a feminine name, and its similarity to the more familiar Sherine or Shireen contributes to its appeal for families seeking an uncommon yet melodious choice. The name's rarity means it has no strong regional concentration in any state, making it a distinctive option nationwide.
Shareen is a spelling variant of Sherine or Sharine, which are thought to be derived from Persian شیرین (shirin) meaning "sweet" or Arabic شَرِين (sharin) meaning "sweet" or "beloved". The name has been used in various forms across the Middle East and South Asia. In the United States, Shareen first appeared in records in 1941 and saw modest use, particularly peaking in the 1970s.
