Sharlin

Meaning of Sharlin

Sharlin is a feminine name of modern Anglo-American usage, pronounced SHAR-lin (/ʃɑrˈlɪn/), that likely originated as a creative blend or variant of established names such as Sharon and Lynn or Charlene. By combining the Hebrew root of Sharon—often interpreted as “fertile plain”—with the simple, graceful suffix -lin (echoing Welsh llyn, “lake”), Sharlin achieves a balance between familiar elements and individual flair. Its documented use in the United States dates back to at least 1983, when five newborn girls received the name (ranked 771), and it enjoyed a modest resurgence in the mid-2000s—peaking at twelve births (ranked 931) in 2004 and ten births (ranked 978) in 2007. This pattern of low-double-digit occurrences underscores Sharlin’s appeal to parents seeking a name that is neither ubiquitous nor completely obscure, offering a contemporary feel grounded in traditional naming conventions.
