Sharry is a unique and captivating name of Irish origin, meaning 'bright-headed' or 'bright-eyed'. It is derived from the Irish given name Síreach, which translates to 'vigorous' or 'energetic'. While it's not as widely known as some other Irish names, Sharry carries a charming and distinctive quality that sets it apart. The name has been historically used more frequently in Ireland but can be found globally, adding a touch of Celtic flavor wherever it appears.
The name Sharry experienced significant popularity during the early to mid-20th century, with a peak of 37 births in 1956. However, it appears that its usage declined notably after the 1960s, as seen by the consistently low numbers of births recorded from 1974 onwards, with some years even falling below five births. Overall, there were a total of 953 babies named Sharry between 1937 and 1992.
