Meaning and history
Sharona is a Hebrew and English feminine elaboration of Sharon. Sharon is a biblical place name referring to the fertile coastal plain of Israel; its Hebrew name is commonly associated with a plain or level country. The ending -a creates a distinct feminine form without changing that geographic origin. A notable bearer is American real-estate agent Sharona Alperin, who inspired the Knack’s song “My Sharona.” The name should not be assigned unrelated invented meanings.
In 2021, 5 babies were recorded with the name Sharona, ranking #15,251 among girls.
