Sharli

Sharli is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative phonetic spelling of the name Charlie or Charlotte. This distinctive spelling variation gives a familiar name a fresh, contemporary feel. While the traditional Charlotte derives from the masculine Charles (meaning "free man" or "manly"), Sharli represents a more direct phonetic approach to the nickname form. The name gained limited usage in the early 21st century as part of the trend toward both gender-neutral names and creative spellings. Sharli's appeal lies in its combination of familiarity and uniqueness—recognizable in sound but distinctive in appearance. The name carries the friendly, approachable quality of Charlie while offering a more distinctively feminine spelling option.

Pronounced SHAR-lee.

As of October 2026, Sharli ranked #16494 in US births in 1999 SSA, peaked at #6383 in 1985.
