Sharon comes from a Hebrew place name meaning “plain”, that of a fertile coastal plain in Israel.
The Bible also mentions the rose of Sharon, a flowering plant whose name is now applied to several species. As a feminine given name it has been used in English-speaking countries since the early 20th century, possibly inspired by the heroine of a serial novel, The Skyrocket. In Hebrew the name is unisex.
The name Sharon in numerology
Sharon is worth 30 across six letters, and 3 is what remains.
That number loves an audience. A Sharon often has a quick tongue, a talent for impressions and the habit of turning a delay into an anecdote. She writes, sings or decorates because she enjoys it, not for approval, and her enthusiasm is catching, whether the occasion is a birthday or an ordinary Tuesday.
A and O, her vowels, make 7, so behind the chatter there is a reader and thinker who values quiet hours. S, H, R and N make 23 and 5: she moves fast, changes her mind when the facts change and handles surprises with improvisation.
S, a 1, opens the name and gives people a direct, self-assured first look. The A that heads her vowels is also a 1, and the first impulse in a new situation is simply to begin.
Expression, reflection and speed form a lively mix. These numbers speak for one given name; others will enter from elsewhere.
