Meaning & origin
Sharion is a rare American coinage that emerged in the late 1930s, first recorded in 1937. It is likely a blend of the well-known name Sharon and the suffix -ion, a pattern seen in other mid-century creations. The name reached its peak popularity in 1947, but never entered the top 1,000 rankings. Its trajectory has been stable and low, essentially fading from use after the 1950s. It is considered a girl's name and has no consistently used nicknames or variants. States with the most births are not recorded, reflecting its scattered, infrequent usage. Sharion remains an obscure choice, largely confined to a brief period in the mid-20th century.
Sharion appears to be a 20th-century American invention, probably formed by blending the name Sharon (itself derived from the Hebrew plain of Sharon) with the fashionable -ion suffix seen in names like Marion and Darian. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1937 and saw modest use, peaking in the 1940s. The name has no known pre-modern roots.
