History & Origin

Sharnette is a modern coinage joining a Sharn or Sharon sound to the French diminutive -ette. It appears in American records mainly in the nineteen-seventies and is best read by its parts rather than a single inherited meaning.

It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year even at its peak in the nineteen-seventies. A girl named Sharnette then would be about fifty today.

Did you know? The -ette ending that shapes Sharnette also gave the era names like Lynette and Annette, a fashionable suffix borrowed from French to feminize a base sound.
