Sharmina is Persian in Origin.
Sharmina is a feminine given name found across South Asia, especially among Urdu- and Bengali-speaking Muslims. It stems from Persian sharm, “modesty, bashfulness,” with the adjectival suffix -īn/-een; the -a ending marks a feminine form. The core sense is “modest, shy” with affectionate overtones of “graceful” or “demure.”
Documented in Bangladesh and Pakistan from the mid-20th century, the name spread through the diaspora and remains uncommon in the West. Closely related variants include Sharmin, Sharmeen, Sharmeena, Sharmine, and Sharmeina; Sharmila in Indic languages is a parallel formation from the same root, though shaped by Sanskrit/Hindi influence. Nicknames such as Sharmi and Mina are typical. Do not confuse it with the North Indian surname Sharma. Because usage is multilingual, pronunciations vary slightly: shar-MEE-nah or shar-MEE-nə. Overall, Sharmina blends traditional virtues with a soft, modern sound.
