Sharmaine is a modern English given name, most often a phonetic or stylistic variant of Charmaine. Charmaine itself appears to have been coined in the early 1900s and is commonly linked to French charmant/charmante, meaning "charming" or "delightful." The name gained visibility through William J. Locke's 1913 novel The Beloved Vagabond and spread widely after the 1926 popular song "Charmaine," featured in the film What Price Glory?, which helped carry the name into broader use.

As a respelling, Sharmaine reflects the mid-to-late 20th century fashion for Sh- names and creative orthography. It sees notable use in English-speaking countries and is especially familiar in the Philippines. Related forms and variants include Charmaine, Sharmain, Sharmayne, Sharmane, Sharmene, and Charmaigne; short forms include Char, Sharm, and Maine. The prevailing meaning attached to Sharmaine follows its Charmaine root: "charming," "gracefully appealing," or "delightful," with a modern, distinctive twist provided by the Sh- spelling.
