How do you pronounce it?

The romanization is Shārīn.

If シャーリーン were written vertically, the long vowel dash ー would be turned 90 degrees to become a vertical line.
A Japanese person might ask for the 'meaning' of シャーリーン to choose matching kanji characters for a decorative version of the name. Since it is a foreign name, any characters chosen are based on sound or desired qualities rather than a linguistic root.
In Japanese, the 'r' sound in シャーリーン is a flap, created by tapping the tongue against the roof of the mouth. It sounds like a cross between an English 'r', 'l' and 'd'.
