Shareen
Girl name · 30 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shareen: 30 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1982.
Shareen is a name of Persian origin, meaning "sweet" or "pleasant," and is a spelling variant of the more familiar **Shirin**. It is most famously associated with the legendary Persian queen Shirin, celebrated in the tragic romance of *Khosrow and Shirin* by the poet Nizami Ganjavi. Though no major place bears the exact name Shareen, the root *shir* (meaning "milk" or "sweetness") appears in Persian place names. In Scotland, Shareen has been a rare but enduring choice since the 1970s, often given a distinctly lyrical, modern feel. It also functions as a feminine form of the Arabic **Shareef**, meaning "noble," making it a cross-cultural name with dual appeal.
