However, Sharnel has been predominantly used as a feminine name in recent times. The name gained popularity in the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, making it a choice for those seeking an unusual yet meaningful name.
The name Sharnel experienced a slight peak in popularity with 9 births in 1978 and has since remained relatively steady, with fluctuations between 5 to 6 births per year from 1974 to 1991, culminating in a total of 31 babies named Sharnel during this period.
