SHARON
Gender: Feminine Other Scripts: שָׁרוֹן (Ancient Hebrew) Pronounced: SHER-ən (English), SHAR-ən (English) [key] From an Old Testament place name meaning "plain" in Hebrew, referring to the fertile plain near the coast of Israel. This is also the name of a type of flowering shrub, the rose of Sharon. It has been in use as a given name since the 1920s, possibly inspired by the heroine in the serial novel 'The Skyrocket' (1925) by Adela Rogers St. Johns.
