Sharra is a rare feminine given name most often viewed as a creative offshoot of Shara/Shari, themselves shortened forms or variants of Sarah. Through this Hebrew lineage (Sārāh), the name carries the meaning “princess” or “noblewoman.” The doubled r and open -a ending reflect mid-to-late 20th‑century English-language trends toward embellished spellings. While extremely uncommon, Sharra appears sporadically in North American records from the 1970s onward, typically as a distinctive, modern choice rather than a traditional form.

Variants and related spellings include Shara, Sharah, Sharrae, Sharrah, Shari, and Sharie; cognates and roots include Sara, Sarah, and Sarai. Nicknames may be Shar, Shari, Ara, or Rae. Some parents also note cross‑linguistic resonances: in Sanskrit, śara means “arrow,” offering a symbolic reading of swiftness or focus, though this link is likely associative rather than etymological. Overall meaning: “princess,” with modern, stylistic flair.
