History & Origin
Sharlee is a phonetic girl's spelling of Charlie or Charley, the pet forms of Charles and Charlotte. Charles descends from the Germanic karl, a free man. The Sharlee spelling appears in United States records from around nineteen-twenty-eight, peaked around nineteen-ninety, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.
As Charlie surges for daughters, respellings like Sharlee, Charlee, and Charleigh have grown, so this is one of the batch's names most in tune with current taste, even if it stayed rare in its own right. It reads friendly and modern while carrying Charles's free-man meaning.
