Sharonda
Feminine · “the plain”
Sharonda takes a biblical place name and gives it an American ending. Sharon is the coastal plain of Israel, fertile enough to be proverbial; -onda is the ending that closes Rhonda, Yolonda and Lashonda. The combination lengthens a two-syllable name into three without changing anything at the front.

The story of Sharonda
Sharon became an American girl's name in the twentieth century from the biblical phrase rather than from any geography, and became very widely used. What happened next is the ordinary life cycle of a common name in American naming: once the sound is everywhere, the endings attach. Sharonda, Sharona and Sharlene all followed within a generation, and the -onda ending in particular was doing steady work at the time. The base name is Hebrew and the ending is not, which describes a great deal of American naming.
Meaningscholars disagree
the plain
Hebrew sharon means a plain or level country, and with the article it names the coastal strip between the hills and the Mediterranean — the rose of Sharon in the Song of Songs is from there, though what flower was meant is not known. That is settled for Sharon. Whether the meaning survives the addition of an ending that carries none of its own is the open question, and a compound of this kind generally inherits loosely rather than cleanly.

Fashion outlook
Sharonda sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.

The trade-off
- Sharon and Ronda are both complete names available inside it.
- It is said correctly on first sight, which many lengthened names are not.
- Three syllables with a clear middle stress, which balances a short surname.
- Sharonda, Sharhonda and Sharunda are all in use, so the spelling gets dictated.
- The ending places the name in a fairly narrow stretch of the last century.
- The biblical meaning belongs to the front half and comes with a hedge once the ending is attached.
