Sharry

Sharry is a feminine name that likely developed as a variation of names like Sherry, Sherrie, or Sharon. Sherry itself derives from either the French 'chérie' meaning 'darling,' or as a diminutive of Sharon, which has Hebrew roots meaning 'plain' or 'forest.' Sharry emerged in the mid-20th century in English-speaking countries but has always remained uncommon. The name peaked in minimal usage during the 1960s and 1970s but never reached widespread popularity. With its friendly sound and approachable spelling, Sharry offers a sweet, vintage quality that's distinctive without being complicated. The 'y' ending gives it a perky, affectionate tone.

Pronounced SHAR-ee.

As of October 2026, Sharry ranked #13088 in US births in 1992 SSA, peaked at #1485 in 1949.
