SHARON ORIGIN AND HISTORY


ORIGIN AND HISTORY

The name Sharon is of Hebrew origin, and it means "a fertile plain." It was the name of a place in the Bible, the flat land at the foot of Mount Carmel.[1]

The phrase "rose of Sharon" comes from the Song of Solomon in the Old Testament and describes the beauty of a young woman. During the time of Solomon, the plain of Sharon was known for its beautiful flowers, though the exact flower in reference is up for debate. The Hebrew word chabatstseleth is often translated as "rose" but may also mean "meadow saffron."[1]
