History & Origin

Sharetha is a coined name joining the Sha- prefix with a -retha element that echoes Aretha. Names assembled from a prefix and a familiar sound flourished in African American naming from the nineteen-seventies onward, valuing an individual, melodic sound over an inherited meaning.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point around nineteen-eighty. A girl named Sharetha then is in her mid-forties today.

Did you know? Sharetha carries a clear echo of Aretha, the name made unforgettable by Aretha Franklin, wrapped in the Sha- prefix so common in the same era.
