Meaning & origin
Sharmon is a rare American given name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1947, a time when creative name formations were emerging. Its usage peaked in 1968, but even then it remained uncommon, never appearing in the national top 1000. The name has seen stable but extremely low usage since, with a trajectory that shows no signs of revival. The exact etymology is unclear; it may be a blend of Sharon and Charmaine, or a feminized form of the surname Sherman. Sharmon has no strong ties to any single state or region, as top states are not recorded for such a rare name. Parents today choosing Sharmon are likely drawn to its vintage 1960s feel and simple, melodic sound.
Sharmon first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1947, with peak usage in the 1960s. It is likely a modern invented name, possibly derived from the Hebrew name Sharon meaning 'plain' or 'flat land,' or from the French-inspired Charmaine, combined with a trendy suffix. The name has no known historical or literary antecedents and remains rare.
