Sharni as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sharni

What is the meaning of the name Sharni ?

The baby name Sharni is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SHAH-nee.

Sharni is Australian, English in Origin.

Sharni is best treated as a modern English-language name, first visible as the spelling Sharni rather than as an inherited word from an older language. It appears to belong to late twentieth-century Australian naming, formed by the productive Shar- opening found in Sharna, Sharon, and related given-name fashions, with the familiar feminine -i ending. Links to Irish rose phrases, Hebrew sharon plain, or Sanskrit Śani Saturn are not secure for Sharni itself; they are later associations. Its literal meaning is therefore not fixed.

Use is concentrated in Australia, with smaller pockets in New Zealand and Britain, where respellings such as Sharnie, Sharnee, and Sharny fit the same phonetic style. Public bearers include Australian actor and dancer Sharni Vinson and netballer Sharni Layton, who made the spelling recognizable beyond local records. The name has no established religious or literary tradition, and documented use remains mainly feminine.
