莎朗

莎朗 is the standard transliteration of the English female name 'Sharon'. The most famous bearer is American actress Sharon Stone (莎朗·斯通), star of 《本能》 (Basic Instinct, 1992). 莎 is the workhorse character for 'Sha-' / '-sa' in Western women's names (莎拉 Sarah), and 朗 covers 'ron/lon' endings.

memory

Don't confuse 莎朗 (Sharon) with 沙龙 ('salon'). They sound similar in Chinese but the second is a French loanword for a salon/parlor, while the first is a personal name.
