History & Origin

Sharnae is a coined name that elaborates Sharna with the modern -ae ending popular in the nineteen-seventies and eighties. Sharna is generally understood as a short form connected to Sharon, the biblical Plain of Sharon whose Hebrew name means 'plain' or 'level land', celebrated for the 'rose of Sharon'.

It appeared around 1977, held a faint high point around 1991, and slipped toward rarity by the two-thousands. A Sharnae today is most likely a woman of Generation X; the name is a period elaboration rather than an established form.

Did you know? Sharnae rode the same -ae fashion as Renae and Shanae, adding a stylish tail to the Sharna sound; it stayed rare, given to only a few dozen girls a year at its early-nineties peak.
