History & Origin

Sharonda is an American elaboration of Sharon, the Hebrew name for Israel's lush coastal plain and the setting of the 'rose of Sharon.' Adding -onda gave the biblical place name a fuller, more ornate rhythm popular with African-American families.

Sharonda crested in 1980 and thinned over the following decades, so a woman wearing it today is likely in her forties. It reads as a warm early-eighties name rather than a reviving classic.

Did you know? Sharonda rode the same wave as Sharon itself: it rose through the sixties and seventies and peaked in 1980, just as the plainer Sharon was on its way down.
