Sharron

Girl name · 121 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Sharron: 121 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 16 births in 1974.

Though often seen as a variant of Sharon, Sharron emerged as a distinct spelling choice in the mid-20th century, carrying the same Hebrew root from the Plain of Sharon, meaning "a plain" or "a flat area." The most famous bearer is likely actress Sharron Davies, the British Olympic swimmer who became a household name in the 1970s. There is no major place named after a Sharron, but the biblical Sharon Plain in Israel shares the name's ultimate origin. Notably, the double-r spelling was particularly popular in Scotland during the 1960s and 70s, peaking in 1966, before declining sharply—a pattern that mirrors the broader shift away from "Sharon" variants towards more modern choices.
