History & Origin

Shatera is a coined American girls' name appearing in United States records from about 1980. It joins the popular Sha- prefix to a -tera close in the inventive spirit of its cohort.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1980s high before easing off by the late 2000s. A girl named Shatera then is in her late thirties today.

Did you know? Shatera belongs to the broad Sha- family that gave its decade names like Shakira and Shaquita, coined for rhythm rather than a set meaning.
