Shere is a unique and captivating female given name of uncertain origin, believed to have been coined by author Richard Adams for his novel 'Watership Down'. The name Shere is often interpreted as a blend of the English words 'she' and 'here', suggesting a sense of belonging and presence.
The name Shere seems to have been most popular between the years 1948 and 1989, with peaks in popularity during the late 1970s and early 1980s, when there were consistently high numbers of babies named Shere each year. However, it's worth noting that there was a significant drop-off in the number of babies named Shere after 1989, suggesting that the name may have fallen out of fashion by that point. Overall, based on these statistics, it appears that Shere was a relatively uncommon name during this time period, with only a total of 253 births recorded over these four decades.
