Meaning & origin
Sharonda is a modern American invention that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1958. Its greatest popularity came during the 1970s, reaching a peak rank of 354 in 1979. Since 1985, the name has steadily declined, and by 2025 it had fallen out of the top 1,000 entirely, with fewer than 5 births per million girls. The name's rise and fall reflects a broader trend of creative "Sha-" names that were fashionable in the late 20th century. While never widely used in any single state, Sharonda was most common in the South and Midwest. Today, it remains a distinctive choice that calls back to the naming styles of the 1970s.
Sharonda is a modern coinage that emerged in the United States in the late 1950s. It was likely formed by combining the popular prefix "Sha-" (as in Sharon or Shana) with the suffix "-ronda" (perhaps influenced by Rhonda or the Spanish word ronda). The name was most popular in the 1970s, peaking in 1979, and has since declined in usage.
