Sharmaine is a modern English variant of Charmaine, which traces back to the Greek name Charmian, meaning "delight" or "joy". This phonetic spelling emerged mid-20th century, sometimes considered a blend of Sharon and Charmaine. Notable bearers include Canadian actress Sharmaine Wells, known for her television roles, and Jamaican reggae singer Sharmaine O’Bryan. While no major places are directly named after bearers, the related Charmaine appears in a few small US settlements. In Scotland, Sharmaine saw modest use from the 1970s onwards, reflecting the era’s fondness for creative spellings—much like its cousin Charmaine, it carries a soft, melodic feel that pairs well with both classic and contemporary surnames.
