Sharon
Featured in baby name books
Sharon is a Hebrew name meaning “a plain,” after the fertile Plain of Sharon in ancient Israel. The Song of Solomon’s “rose of Sharon” gives the name associations of flowers and love, and David’s herds grazed on its rich pastures. Sharon was a top-twenty name from the 1940s to 1960s and now feels a bit dated; actress Sharon Stone is a famous bearer.
