The history of the first name Sharron

Sharron is a feminine given name with origins tracing back to the Hebrew language and culture. It is a variant spelling of the name Sharon, which derives from the Hebrew word "shāron" meaning "plain" or "level ground." The name likely originated in ancient Israel, referring to the fertile Sharon Plain located along the Mediterranean coast.

In the Bible, the Sharon Plain is mentioned several times, often in poetic descriptions of its beauty and abundance. The Song of Songs, a book of the Hebrew Bible, contains the line "I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys." This biblical reference may have contributed to the name's popularity among Jewish and Christian communities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Sharon appears in the Book of Chronicles, where it refers to a district in the territory of the tribe of Ephraim. However, it is unclear if this was a place name or a personal name at the time.
