History & Origin

Sheron is a variant spelling of Sharon, taken from the fertile coastal plain of Sharon in the Hebrew Bible, its name meaning roughly 'the level land'. While Sharon flourished as a girl's name, this form was given now and then to boys; it appears in the 1940s and peaked around 1975.

It was always rare for boys, reaching only a couple dozen a year at most, so a Sheron from that high point would be around fifty today. It reads as an unusual crossover spelling rather than an established boy's name, and Sharon remains its familiar root.

Did you know? Sheron shows how a name rooted in a biblical landscape, the plain of Sharon, could cross over to occasional use for boys in mid-century America.
