Charen is English in Origin.
Charen is a modern feminine given name with several converging sources. In the Philippines it often serves as a respelling of Sharon (Hebrew 'fertile plain'), influenced by the popular Char- opening in names like Charlene and Charmaine. It is also used as a clipped or blended form of Charmaine, Charisse/Charis (Greek charis, 'grace'), or Karen, which fits its late-20th-century rise.
Meanings therefore vary by derivation: 'fertile plain,' 'grace,' or 'charm/pleasant'. The name is uncommon in most English-language statistics but familiar in Filipino naming. Variants and relatives include Charene, Charin, Charren, Charisse, Charmaine, Charlene, and Sharen/Sharon; nicknames such as Cha or Ren occur. Usage is chiefly feminine, and speakers typically give the initial ch a soft 'sh' value in practice today.
