Sharel Origin and Meaning

The name Sharel is a girl's name.

Sharel is a feminine name that likely developed as a variation of names like Cheryl, Sharla, or Sharon. It blends the popular 'Shar-' prefix with the soft '-el' ending found in many feminine names. The name has a melodic quality and contemporary feel, though it remains uncommon. Possible origins include being a creative variation of the Hebrew name Sarah (meaning 'princess') with the fashionable '-el' suffix, or a blend of the French 'chérie' (beloved) and the popular name ending. Sharel peaked in popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but has remained relatively rare. The name provides a distinctive alternative to more common similar-sounding names while maintaining a recognizable and feminine sound pattern.
