cherice is English in Origin.

Cherice is a modern English feminine name with French influence. It likely blends Cherise and Cerise: the former associated with chérie, “dear, beloved,” and the latter meaning “cherry” (from Latin cerasum). Some also connect it to Charisse, ultimately related to Greek charis, “grace.” Taken together, Cherice carries affectionate and sweet connotations, sometimes interpreted as “beloved” or “cherry,” with a secondary sense of “grace.”

Documented in the English‑speaking world from the mid‑20th century, the name rose with fashion for French‑styled given names and remains uncommon but familiar, especially in the US and Caribbean communities. Variant spellings include Cherise, Cherisse, Charise, Charisse, Sherice, Sharice, Shereese, Shereece, and Cerise; diminutives include Cheri/Cherie and Reese. Awareness of the Charisse/Charise forms was boosted by mid‑century performer Cyd Charisse, and usage peaked in the late 20th century alongside other French‑sounding choices like Cherie and Denise.
