History & Origin

Sherae is a coined name that pairs a She- or Sha- opening with Rae, itself a short form of Rachel, from the Hebrew for 'ewe'. It sits among a cluster of Rae-blends such as Renae and Janae, sharing their upbeat, two-beat lift while keeping its own spelling.

It appears thinly in American records in recent decades and reached its slim peak in the late nineteen-eighties. A girl named Sherae then is in her late thirties today.

Did you know? Rae-blends like Sherae, Renae and Janae were a late-century fashion, letting families fold the crisp Rae ending onto a soft opening syllable.
