The story of Sharron
Biblical place names became English given names in waves, and Sharon belongs to a twentieth-century American one. It rose extremely fast from the 1930s, reaching the top ten by the 1940s, and a name that common invites individuation — which is where Sharron, Sharyn and Sheryn come from. The doubled-r spelling appears in American registers through the 1940s and 1950s and peaked in the mid-1950s.
Meaning
plain, flat land
From the Hebrew Sharon, the coastal plain between Mount Carmel and Jaffa, from a root meaning flat or level. The Song of Songs has the phrase 'rose of Sharon', which is the line that made the place name usable as a personal one — though the plant meant is not a rose.

Fashion outlook
Sharron has already lived its whole cycle: it rose, had its era, and has stepped off the charts. The fashion question is behind it — what lies ahead is the waiting room where revivals begin, once a name's first generation has grown distant enough for it to sound fresh again.

The trade-off
- A real and documented place with a transparent meaning stands behind it.
- The rose of Sharon phrase gives the name a genuinely attractive literary anchor.
- Two clean syllables with no pronunciation risk.
- The second r does no audible work, so the spelling has to be given every time.
- It is firmly period-coded to the middle of the twentieth century.
