Meaning & origin
Sharron is a spelling variant of Sharon that enjoyed its greatest popularity in the mid-20th century. First recorded in 1918, it reached its peak in 1943, ranking as the 255th most common name for girls that year. Since 1987, its usage has steadily fallen. While it never ranked among the top 200 names, it reflects the mid-century fashion for biblical place names adapted into feminine given names. Like many names of its era, Sharron has a classic yet dated feel, rarely given to newborns today.
Sharron is a spelling variant of Sharon, which derives from the Hebrew name שָׁרוֹן (Sharon), referring to the fertile coastal plain mentioned in the Bible (Song of Solomon 2:1: 'I am the rose of Sharon'). The name Sharon was first used as a given name in the 19th century among English-speaking Protestants and saw a surge in popularity in the mid-20th century. Sharron emerged as an alternative spelling, particularly common in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.
