Shacarri Origin and Meaning
The name Shacarri is a girl's name meaning "stomach cramp; dawn; thankful; freeman".
Stylized as Sha'Carri, Olympic sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson brought this name to the field. It entered the US stats for the first time in 2024, when it was given to 5 babies.
The name has a variety of origins, one possibility being that it comes from the Zulu Shakari, relating to a stomach cramp caused by an intestinal parasite and sometimes given to unexpected babies. Alternatively, it might come from the Hebrew Sachar, meaning "dawn" or the Arabic Shakira (or Shakara) meaning "thankful", although it may also be a blend of English nickname Carrie and the prefix sha.
