Based on the provided lexicon data, the Hebrew word שָׁרוֹן (sha.ron) refers to the semantic domain of a proper name of a person. However, a more detailed analysis from Hebrew lexicons like Brown-Driver-Briggs and Gesenius' Lexicon suggest that this word typically refers to a place name, which in this context, refers to a specific region in ancient Israel. The given definition of "Sharon" as a proper name of a person is not typical. The name שָׁרוֹן (sha.ron) primarily denotes the Sharon region in Israel, known for its fertile plains and agricultural production. Given there is only one occurrence of the name in the Bible (likely 1 Samuel 28:4 as Shunem but this could be a variant of the word), one would assume that it's referring to the location.
