ArchivesSearán
Hello!
I'm looking for any information on the female name "Searán".
There isn't much I have found except that it's a translation of 'Sharon'
I'm wondering if it was an Irish name or if it is an example of an Anglicized name being converted into Gaelic in modern times? I know it's a convoluted question aha!
Also, what does the name itself mean?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I checked the popularity statistics in Ireland: https://www.cso.ie/en/interactivezone/visualisationtools/babynamesofireland/
They have statistics available from 1964-2021.
Searán and Searan didn't chart at all (every time there are at least 3 births per year a name would chart).
It is not popular in Ireland.
I found a few girls named Searán so it seems to be in use (rarely) and it does say online that it comes from Sharon.
I am wondering if it is a modern attempt to irish-ify a name. This has been done a few times recently with names such as Mollaí or Avagh. People choose a random name (Molly, Ava, Sharon) and try to apply an Irish spelling to it.
It doesn't seem to have any usage as a traditional Irish name.
