What the Data Says About Sharan

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,190 babies named Sharan between 1936 and 2016, spanning 81 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sharan performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 387 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Sharan shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 43 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Sharan in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sharan in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,190 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
