Shareenah is a modern feminine given name, most likely an embellished spelling of Shareena/Shareen. These forms point to Persian Shirin, adopted into Arabic as Shereen, meaning “sweet, pleasant,” while some families read it as aligned with Sharina/Sarina, variants of the Hebrew Sarah, “princess.” The -ah ending mirrors Arabic and South Asian naming aesthetics and English ornamental spellings, giving the name a soft, melodic finish.
