I need the name "Sharon" written in Norwegian. Can anyone help me?

Question

My "extra" son wishes to get a tattoo with his deceased mother's name printed in Norwegian on his upper arm. I don't know how to write in Norwegian, nor do I know anyone.

Answer 1

Please believe me: "Saron" is NOT the Norwegian version of Sharon. Saron is a Norwegian Christian organisation.

Actually, Sharon does not have a Norwegian "translation", and it is definitely not a Norwegian name. But still you will find people in Norway named Sharon, because Norwegians quite often give their kids English names.

So to answer your question: Sharon written in Norwegian is Sharon. Simple as that. Are you sure your son's mum wrote it differently?

If it may help, here are the most usual female names beginning with S in Norway:

Sandra
Sara
Sarah
Selma
Signe
Sigrid
Silje
Sissel
Sofie
Solveig
Stine
Sunniva
Synne
Synnøve

Answer 2

I went to a free translator website that will put English into Norwegian, and it translates the same. The name Sharon must be the same in both languages. There doesn't seem to be anything even close to it in the list of Norwegian names that I found. Was his mother actually born in Europe to Norwegian parents? If one parent was American or English, it's entirely possible his mother was given an English name. Or, perhaps her birth name was something else that became Americanized to "Sharon"- many people who come over to this country do that in order to fit in or to make it easier for their new friends and family to say. Perhaps he can tattoo something that is representative of his mother and her native country if you can't find a Norwegian version of "Sharon".

Answer 3

The name is "Saron" in Norwegian.

I obtained it from the Norwegian translation of the Bible, Song of Solomon, chapter 2, verse 1. It is, as you no doubt know, a Hebrew name.
