History & Origin
Sharene is a mid-century coinage that pairs the productive Sha- prefix with the soft -rene ending of Maureen and Doreen. Its closest relative is Charlene; parents chose it for a familiar, flowing sound rather than a single dictionary meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year near its late-1960s peak and fading by the mid-1990s. A Sharene from that time is in her late fifties now; it reads as a period Sha- name rather than a name on current comeback lists.
