Sherron is of Scottish origin, derived from the Scottish surname 'Sherran'. It is believed to have been an anglicized form of the Gaelic 'Searbhan', which means 'little John'. The name was initially used as a boy's name but has since become more unisex in recent years.
Sherron has been a moderately popular name over the past century, with peaks of popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's clear that it was particularly favored during these periods as there were years like 1977 with a high of 25 births and consecutive years with double-digit birth counts from 1976 to 1984. However, the name has seen a decline in popularity since then, with fewer than ten births per year since the early 1990s. Even in recent years, it remains uncommon, with only five births each in 2017 and 2021. Overall, there have been a total of 526 babies named Sherron over these years.
