History & Origin

Sheran is a scarce mid-century coinage that echoes Sharon — from the Hebrew place-name for the fertile coastal plain, celebrated in the Bible as the 'rose of Sharon' — crossed with the sound of Cheryl and Sherry. Being an invented blend, its meaning rests mainly on the Sharon side, which we say honestly.

Sheran has a very faint record from around 1937, cresting about 1947 and gone by the early 1990s — only a few dozen girls a year at most. It reads as a mid-century name of a grandmother's generation, of its era.

Did you know? Sheran sits among the Sh- girls' names of its day — Sharon, Sheree, Sherry — that parents reshaped freely into fresh-sounding forms.
