Sharri
Sharri Origin and Meaning
Sharri is a feminine name that likely developed as a variation of names like Sharon, Sherry, or Cheri. It combines the fashionable 'Sh' beginning popular in mid-20th century America with a distinctive spelling of the ending sound. The name Sharon, from which Sharri may derive, has Hebrew origins meaning 'a fertile plain.' Sharri saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s-1970s, coinciding with the peak periods for similar names like Sherry and Cheri. The distinctive spelling with the double 'r' and 'i' ending gives it a more personalized quality. While less common today, Sharri has a vintage charm that connects to mid-century naming patterns while maintaining a friendly, approachable quality with its soft sounds and diminutive feel.
