Origin
Meaning and history of Shayron
The name Shayron is believed to have its origins in the Hebrew language, although its precise etymology is uncertain. Some scholars suggest that it may be a variant spelling of the name Sharon, which is derived from the Hebrew word "sharon," meaning "plain" or "level ground."
In ancient times, the Sharon Plain was a fertile region located between the coastal mountains and the Mediterranean Sea in present-day Israel. This area was renowned for its beauty and agricultural productivity, and it is mentioned several times in the Bible.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Shayron can be found in the Book of Isaiah, where it is used to refer to the Sharon Plain. Specifically, Isaiah 35:2 states, "The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus."
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Shayron. In the 16th century, Shayron de Lozada was a Spanish explorer and navigator who accompanied Francisco Pizarro on his expeditions to the Americas.
During the Renaissance period, Shayron de Medici was an Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts, known for her influential role in the cultural and political life of Florence.
In the 19th century, Shayron Nightingale was a British social reformer and pioneer of modern nursing. She is renowned for her work during the Crimean War, where she tended to wounded soldiers and improved sanitary conditions in military hospitals.
More recently, Shayron Stoner was an American actress and singer who rose to fame in the 1950s and appeared in several popular films and television shows.
Shayron Woolf was a British author and philosopher, best known for her groundbreaking work on feminism and gender studies in the late 20th century.

FAQ
Shayron: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Shayron?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Shayron going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Shayron a common name?
We classify Shayron as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 16 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Shayron most popular?
The single biggest year for Shayron was 1945, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Shayron is about 48 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Shayron in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Shayron a female name?
Yes, 68.8% of people registered as Shayron in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Shayron still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Shayron in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Shayron can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
