ArchivesSharman & Timaree
I would like any information on the origins and meaning of the names
of my wife and daughter, Sharman & Timaree.
My wife was named after the daughter of the Irish Ambassador to the
USA in 1950, Sharman Douglas.
If my wife had ever had a sister, her name would have been Timaree.
Instead we have a daughter with that name. I know little about it.
I have found through other reasearch areas that there seem to be a
number of other Timaree's out there, but none have any real info on the
ancestry of their name.
Regardless of what I find out, I love my wife and daughter and I think
they both have beautiful names.

My wife, Timaree Brown, was told by her father that she was named for a castle in Ireland. We have been unable to find such a castle, leading us to suspect (since her father was often loose with the facts)that perhaps he got the name from a work of fiction. If you do discover the origin of the name, please e-mail us at lisse@massmed.org Thanks!

"Sharman" can either be a variant spelling of the feminine given names of Sharmaine, Charmaine, or Charmian (click on blue hyperlinks for meanings), or possibly (seeing as how you mentioned the Irish background) it may be that the Irish Ambassador had given an old Irish family name of "Sharman" to his daughter as her first name. This surname was originally "Shearman" and of English origin, but was became established in County Kilkenny, Ireland in the 18th century where it is still found today. It means "a shearer of sheep".
"Timaree" is a variant spelling of the feminine given name of "Timarie" or "Ti Marie". This name originated in the French Caribbean, having sprung from the Creole language which, in turn, developed from pidginized French in the 17th and 18th centuries. The name "Ti Marie" is derived from the French petname: "Petite Marie", meaning "Little Mary".
