Meaning and history

Sherah is a biblical Hebrew feminine name of uncertain meaning. In the First Book of Chronicles, Sherah is a daughter or descendant of Ephraim credited with building Lower and Upper Beth-horon and Uzzen-sherah, making her an unusual female builder in biblical genealogy. Proposed meanings such as “kinswoman” or “flesh” depend on uncertain Hebrew analysis and should be treated cautiously. Modern use is rare, and reliable prominent bearers outside the biblical figure are limited.
