History & Origin

Sharmayne is a spelling of Charmaine, a name with two likely roots: the Latin 'carmen,' song, and the Greek Charmian, 'delight,' the name of one of Cleopatra's attendants in Antony and Cleopatra. Charmaine had a mid-century vogue helped by a popular song, and Sharmayne is one of the phonetic spellings families gave it. We note both roots honestly.

Sharmayne was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak around 1991, a small variant beside Charmaine. A woman named Sharmayne then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Charmaine, and its spelling Sharmayne, may come from the Latin word for song, 'carmen,' the same root behind the name Carmen.
