Can someone please tell me if the name "Sharon" has a Latin translation.?

Question

I am also trying to find out if there is a difference between the Female and Male Latin word for Tiger.

Answer 1

Sharon originated from the Hebrew word for plain, so there is no Latin version. Latin does not have 'sh' as a phonetic combination. The girls often were not given their own names, but rather the name of the clan, and the ordinal was used if there were multiples (e.g., Gaius Julius Caesar's sisters would all be named Julia, and they would be referred to as Julia first, Julia second, etc.).

Tigris is used for both male and female lions; the adjectives used to modify it would determine gender. But in your previous question the common word for love (amor) is masculine, so all adjectives modifying it would be masculine in gender, even when used in reference to a female.

Answer 2

After taking four years of Latin, I'll have to say that I don't think there is a translation for Sharon. Many Latin names for boys were actually takes on what number child they were. Many Latin girl's names were takes on words that extolled virtue etc. The names actually have inherent meaning to them. Whatever Sharon means, I don't know, other than it being a name. Maybe you could find a translation to what Sharon's meaning but not Sharon itself.

Answer 3

I have a good English to Latin site in my favourites unfortunately I cant send the link, so try typing English to Latin into search and see what it comes up with, I couldn't get anything for Sharon, but would like to know cos that's my name lol
