History & Origin

Shareen can be read two ways: as an -een elaboration of Sharon (Hebrew for the fertile Sharon plain) or as an English form of the Persian Shirin, 'sweet', the beloved of Persian romance. Either way it rides the mid-century wave of names like Doreen, Maureen and Noreen.

It was never common, given to only a few dozen girls a year and cresting in the early nineteen-seventies before fading. A Shareen today is likely middle-aged, and the name reads as a warm period choice with an appealing cross-cultural echo.

Did you know? Shareen joined the fashionable -een family of the mid-century, sounding at once like a Sharon spinoff and the Persian Shirin.
