Sharolyn Origin and Meaning

The name Sharolyn is a girl's name.

Sharolyn is a feminine name of American origin, likely a creative variation of the name Sharon, which comes from the Hebrew word 'sharon' meaning 'a fertile plain.' The name gained modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, though it has never been among the most common names. Sharolyn offers a more elaborate and distinctive alternative to Sharon, with the '-lyn' suffix adding a melodic quality that was fashionable during that era. Today, Sharolyn remains relatively uncommon, giving it a unique charm for parents seeking a name with traditional roots but an individualistic flair.
