Meaning, origin, history
Sharrief is an uncommon male given name of African American origin. It is believed to have been created by blending the names of two famous African American figures: Shari (short for Shari Belafonte, a Jamaican-American actress and singer) and Reginald (Reggie Jackson, a former baseball player). The name Sharrief is unique and has no widely accepted meaning or historical significance beyond its origin. It was first used in the late 20th century and has since gained some popularity within African American communities but remains relatively rare.
