Decade-level aggregation shows that Sharen performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 1,580 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Sharen shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 288 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Sharen in 32 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sharen 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 3,782 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
