History & Origin
Sharra is best read as a coined Sha- name rather than an inherited one, close to Shara and a softened neighbor of Sharon (a biblical plain). The doubled r gives it weight on the page, and it belongs to the mid-century vogue for warm, breathy Sha- sounds.
It was never common, only a couple dozen girls a year around the late nineteen-seventies. It reads as a gentle, dated coinage rather than a name on the way back.
