History & Origin

Shardai is best read as a modern coinage echoing Sade - the stage name of the Nigerian-British singer, short for a Yoruba name meaning 'crown' or 'honor confers' - by way of its phonetic form Sharday. The '-ai' close gives it a distinctive lift.

It stayed genuinely rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its high near 1985, and belongs to its era. It reads as a bright coinage inspired by a famous name rather than a traditional one.

Did you know? The singer Sade made her name widely admired in the 1980s; parents spelled its sound as Sharday and Shardai, and Shardai carries that same music.
