What is the meaning of the name Sharmyn ?

Sharmyn is Persian in Origin.

Sharmyn is a modern English respelling of the South Asian feminine name Sharmin, ultimately from Persian. It derives from sharm, meaning modesty, bashfulness, or decorous reserve, combined with the adjectival/nisba suffix -in. The core sense is “modest” or “becomingly shy.” The y-insertion reflects contemporary Anglophone style (-yn, -ynn) while typically preserving the pronunciation SHAR-min. Documented in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, the form remains uncommon.

Usage centers in Bengali- and Urdu-speaking communities and their diasporas; in Western statistics Sharmyn is rare and has not appeared in major U.S. rankings. Close variants include Sharmin, Sharmeen, and Sharmine; diminutives such as Sharmi and Mina occur informally. Because of its sound, Sharmyn is sometimes associated with Charmaine or Charmian in English, but those derive from different roots (French charmant or Latin carmen) and do not share the Persian meaning.
