Historical Usage
The valley of Sharon in the Old Testament was a fruitful plain in the territory of the tribe of Ephraim. It was the place where King Saul defeated the Ammonites and the Philistines, thereby earning the name 'Shalom' or peace, which was later corrupted into 'Sharon'.
11th century BCE
During the Crusades, the coastal plain of Israel, which included the valley of Sharon, was named Terra Sancta or 'Holy Land' by the European Christians. Sharon, as a name for the region, may have originated from the Hebrew word 'shar' meaning 'mountain' and 'on' meaning 'fruitful'. This name reflected the fertility of the land and its importance to the early Christian pilgrims.
11th-13th centuries CE
