Sharonna
Meaning of Sharonna
Rooted in the Hebrew toponym Sharon (שָׁרוֹן), which denotes the historically fertile coastal plain and evokes the “rose of Sharon” imagery in Biblical poetry, the feminine given name Sharonna—rendered /ʃəˈroʊnə/ in English and /ʃaˈrona/ in Hebrew—represents a later, melodically lengthened variant of the mid-twentieth-century favorite Sharon. The appended -a ending, common in Anglo-American name formation, lends the name a softer cadence while preserving the semantic association of fruitfulness and natural beauty inherited from its geographic origin. Statistical records indicate that Sharonna entered U.S. naming registers in the early 1970s, attained its most notable albeit still rare visibility between 1981 and 1989, and never surpassed rank 750, a trajectory that situates it among the more distinctive choices of its era. Consequently, contemporary bearers inherit a name that conjoins Biblical resonance with a measure of modern exclusivity, offering parents an academically grounded yet uncommon alternative within the broader Sharon–Sharron onomastic family.
