We find " on" at the end of a lot of Hebrew names & historical names .
Pharao ( it self ) in the Hebrew pronunciation is ended with "ON" .

The suffix "on" does not have a special meaning for its own. It is a common suffix that is used in a whole variety of indications and contexts, most of them were fixed in Modern Hebrew:

Anthology or magazine:
עיתון [iton]- news paper (et= time +on)
עלון [alon]- leaflet (ale= page +on)
שבועון[shavu'on]- weekly (shavu'a= week +on)
מילון [milon]- dictionary (mila= word +on)
חידון [chidon]- quiz (chida= riddle +on)
תקנון [takanon]- regulations (takana= rule +on)

Diminutive:
ילדון [yaldon]- little boy (yeled= boy +on)
טפשון [tipshon]- silly boy (tipesh= stupid +on)
דובון [dubon]- little bear (dov= bear +on)

Appliance:
אוירון [aviron]- airplane (avir= air +on)
שעון [sha'on]- clock (sha'a= hour +on)
מחשבון[machshevon]- calculator (machshev= computer +on)

Order of appearance:
ראשון [rishon]- first
אחרון [acharon]- last
תחתון [tachton]- lower
עליון [elyon]- higher
חיצון [chitzon]- exterior

The name Sharon (שרון) takes none of the groups above; it might simply indicate a place, as it means "plain" surface [the root y.sh.r means "straight"; "plain"].
The Hebrew word for Pharaoh is Par'oh (pronounced: par-'O), but the plural form is indeed par'onim.

Other names may refer to other functions of this suffix.

Sharon isn't even a Hebrew name, so I don't know what you're talking about. The only Hebrew name I can think of off-hand that has an "on" at the end is Solomon.

It does not mean anything. Solomon is actually Shlomo in Hebrew. Sorry to break it to you but it's some weird English translation coincidence. Pharoah in Hebrew is pronounced Par-oh not Par-on.

I'm not sure what your asking, and I speak Hebrew.

Sharon is pronounced Sha-roan,
Solomon
Ramon but I think that's more Spanish than Hebrew

Thats all I can think of at the top of my head at the moment.
