Shacarri

Stylized as Sha'Carri, Olympic sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson brought this name to the field. It entered the US stats for the first time in 2024, when it was given to 5 babies.

The name has a variety of origins, one possibility being that it comes from the Zulu Shakari, relating to a stomach cramp caused by an intestinal parasite and sometimes given to unexpected babies. Alternatively, it might come from the Hebrew Sachar, meaning "dawn" or the Arabic Shakira (or Shakara) meaning "thankful", although it may also be a blend of English nickname Carrie and the prefix sha.

Pronounced shuh-KEHR-ee.

As of October 2026, Shacarri ranked #17251 in US births in 2024 SSA.
