Cherel is a rare feminine given name most often understood as a streamlined variant of Cherelle or Cheryl, names shaped in English by French influence. Its core meaning is "dear, beloved," from French cher, ultimately from Latin carus; the -el/-elle ending echoes French feminine style. In some cases, Cherel also coincides with the Breton-French surname Cherel (Chérel), giving it a subtle Francophone surname-as-given-name dimension.

Usage is scattered but documented in English-speaking countries from the mid-late 20th century, tracking the postwar rise of Cheryl and later fashions for -elle names. Cherel remains uncommon today, lending an understated, vintage-modern feel. Related forms and near-variants include Cherelle, Cherell, Cherrel, Charelle, Cheryl, Sheryl, Cherie, and Cherry; diminutives such as Cher or Cheri are also seen. Across these spellings, the prevailing sense is "beloved" or "dear one," making Cherel a warm, affectionate choice.
