What is the meaning of the name Sharese ?

The baby name Sharese is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced shuh-REES (IPA: /ʃəˈriːs/; sometimes shuh-REEZ /ʃəˈriːz/).

Sharese is English in Origin.

Sharese is a modern American feminine given name, generally understood as a phonetic and creative variant of Charisse/Cherise. Those forms trace back to French chérie “dear, beloved” (ultimately from Latin carus “dear”) and are sometimes associated with cerise “cherry,” a symbol of sweetness. The Sha- opening reflects a productive African-American naming pattern and likely blends influences from names like Sheree and the English word cherish. As such, Sharese carries a warm sense of endearment and affection.

Usage grew in the United States from the late 1960s through the 1990s, remaining uncommon but recognizable; it is rare in Britain and elsewhere. Notable variants include Sharice, Sharise, Shareese, Shereese, Shereece, Cherise, Cherice, and Charisse; related forms include Sheree and Sherise. Possible nicknames are Sha and Reese. Cultural visibility for the root came in part from dancer-actress Cyd Charisse, which helped popularize Charisse-linked spellings.
