Sharrod is a first name for boys.
Recently, the name Sharrod has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Sharrod. That means that a boy named Sharrod is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sharrod.

By comparison, there have been 96 years in which the first name Sharrod has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Sharrod only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 10 men going by that name.
