History & Origin
Sharry belongs with Sherry and Shari, breezy mid-century names that drew on Sharon, Charlotte and the French endearment chérie, 'darling'. Given as a full first name, it captures the era's fondness for cheerful, nickname-style girls' names.
It never rose past a few dozen girls a year, cresting near the end of the nineteen-forties before the whole Sherry family cooled. A woman named Sharry today would likely be a grandmother, and the spelling reads as an affectionate period piece.
