History & Origin

Sharese is a variant of Charisse and Cherise, graceful names tied to the Greek charis, 'grace', and the French chérie, 'cherished'. Reworked with a Sha- opening, Sharese fit the wave of Sha- and Sher- girls' names that flourished in late-twentieth-century America.

Sharese was an uncommon boutique spelling, drawing a few dozen girls a year and cresting around 1980 before easing off in the two-thousands. A Sharese from that peak is in her forties now, a Gen-X name with a soft, polished sound.

Did you know? Sharese trades the Ch- of Charisse for a Sha- opening — a small change that placed the elegant old name squarely within the Sha-/Sher- spelling fashion of its decade.
