History & Origin

Sharonica is a coinage that extends Sharon, a Hebrew place-name for a fertile plain associated with the rose of Sharon, using the -ica ending of Monica. It is invented rather than inherited, built on a familiar name and a fashionable ending.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in the early nineteen-eighties, and it faded thereafter. A girl named Sharonica then is in her forties today.

Did you know? Sharonica elaborates the biblical Sharon with the tidy -ica tail of Monica; Sharon itself names the lush coastal plain praised in the Song of Solomon.
