Sharanda is of African origin, meaning 'sweet and gentle'. It's composed of two parts: 'Shara', which translates to 'gentle', and 'nda', meaning 'sweet'. The name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century. It is often associated with warmth and kindness due to its meanings.
Over the span of four decades (1963-2001), the name Sharanda experienced varying popularity, with a notable peak in the late 70s to mid-80s. The highest number of births recorded was 26 in 1982, while the lowest was 5 in both 1963 and 1999.
