The name Sheldon finds its origins in Old English and signifies 'steep valley'. The name carries associations to the natural world, construed as the strength and might of great mountains or the quiet yet profound depth of valleys.
Sheldon is a historical name that landed on the coasts of England with the ancestors of the Sheldon family as they migrated. The name originates from an Anglo-Saxon surname for a person residing in or near a 'steep valley.' Initially, Sheldon was a location-specific surname before emerging as a popular masculine first name.
Sheldon, aside from being prominently historical, has entered modernity, associating with famous personalities like Sheldon Cooper from 'The Big Bang Theory,' Sheldon Adelson, a renowned American businessman, Sheldon Glashow, a Nobel prize-winning physicist. It's not in the top baby names list but maintains a certain cool quotient. Individuals bearing this name are often perceived as analytical, intellectual, and somewhat introverted, mirroring the depth and introspectiveness associated with valleys.

My brother's name is Sheldon. We're close in age so we had mutual friends growing up. When anyone would try to make a nickname out of his name (esp. "Shelly") he would abruptly let them know that his name is "Sheldon"... S-H-E-L-D-O-N. He is very intelligent (PhD), athletic (sub 6-minute miler), and has a wonderful family of his own.

Sheldon Isn't such a great name, the name reminds me of the unhatched chick character by the'same name on the "U.S. Acres" segment of the hit cartoon show "Garfield and Friends" based on the Garfield comic strip by Jim Davis , Wikipedia says about Sheldon on "U.S. Acres" that "Sheldon (voiced by Frank Welker): Booker's twin brother, who decides not to hatch. He became very philosophical and introspective over the course of the'strip, and began musing on his "Sanctum Sanctorum" (a small mound of grass). A recurring gag is to portray his shell as the perfect living space within, without ever'showing it. In one episode, the'shell finally hatched, only to reveal another'shell underneath."
Of Course, the characters of Sheldon J. Plankton & his computer wife Karen from the'spongeBob SquarePants show didn't exactly help the image of this name
I couldn't beli've it when my friend told me that'she was going to name her'son this. AWFUL! Why would someone do that to an innocent baby❤️ It'sounds very wimpy and I'm sure he's going to get beat up on the playground.
