History & Origin

Sherin most often stands as a variant of Sharon, the biblical Plain of Sharon, though it shades into Sherry and is also used as a given name in Indian families. With several routes ending at one spelling, we note the ambiguity rather than force a single origin. Its American use runs thin across the later twentieth century.

Sherin was never common in the United States, reaching only about twenty girls a year around its peak in 1991 and staying scarce otherwise. A girl named Sherin then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The Sharon behind Sherin is a real place - the Plain of Sharon on Israel's coast, celebrated in the Song of Solomon for its wildflowers, source of the phrase rose of Sharon.
