Sharina is Arabic in Origin.

Sharina is a modern feminine given name with layered origins. In English it often arises as an elaboration of Shari - itself a pet form of either Sharon (Hebrew “plain, level field”) or Sarah (Hebrew “princess”). It also overlaps phonetically with Sherina/Shereen, ultimately from Persian Shirin, meaning “sweet” or “pleasant,” a form widespread in Arabic, Turkish, and South Asian languages. The -ina ending adds a gentle, Latinate cadence typical of twentieth-century coinages.

Usage is noted in English-speaking countries from the mid-20th century onward; it has never been common but appears in African American, Filipino, and South Asian communities. In Slavic contexts, Sharina occurs chiefly as a surname rather than a given name. Variants and related forms include Sharena, Shareena, Shereena, Sherina, Sharinah, Sharin, Shari, Sheree, Shereen/Shareen, and Shirin/Şirin. Depending on the root referenced, Sharina can signify “plain/level meadow,” “princess,” or “sweet, charming.”
