History & Origin

Sharin is a respelling of Sharon, the Hebrew place-name from the Song of Solomon. Sharon rose to great popularity in mid-century America, and its wave produced personal spellings such as Sharin and Sherin. This form stayed rare, appearing mostly in the nineteen-sixties alongside the peak of the standard name.

Sharin was never common as a spelling in the United States, reaching only about twenty girls a year around its peak in 1965 while Sharon was near its own high point. A woman named Sharin then is in her fifties or sixties today.

Did you know? The Plain of Sharon behind Sharin gives us rose of Sharon, a phrase from the Song of Solomon long used for a favorite flowering shrub.
