Charil is in Origin.

Charil is a rare modern given name in English, likely a creative blend built on the productive Char- prefix. That element draws from several streams: Charles/Charlotte (from Germanic Karl, “free person”), French chérie via Cheryl (“beloved”), and Greek Charis (“grace”). Because of these overlapping roots, Charil is often read as carrying senses of freedom, endearment, or grace.

The name surfaces sporadically in late 20th- and early 21st-century records, primarily for girls but usable as unisex. Spellings and near-variants include Charill, Charyl, Chariel/Charielle, Sharil, Sharyl, and the related forms Cheryl, Sheryl, Charis, Charisse, and Charlene; Char is a common short form. Parents drawn to Charil often like its streamlined look and familiar sound without the popularity of Charlie or Cheryl. Meaning is context-dependent: if linked to Charles/Charlotte it implies “free,” to Cheryl/chérie “beloved,” and to Charis “grace.”
