Sharen

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sharen: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1980.

Sharen is a modern variant of Sharon, a name drawn from the Hebrew word *sharon*, meaning "plain" or "flat land," referring to the fertile coastal plain mentioned in the Song of Solomon. While less common than its parent form, Sharen has appeared steadily in Scottish registries since the mid-20th century. Notable bearers include American costume designer Sharen Davis, known for her work on *The Help* and *Django Unchained*. The biblical Sharon plain gives its name to dozens of towns worldwide, though no direct place connection exists for this spelling. As a gentle, melodic choice, Sharen offers a less traditional twist on a classic biblical name, sharing roots with Sharon, Sharron, and the Irish variant Sharyn.
