Cherila is English in Origin.
Cherila is a rare modern feminine name whose form suggests two plausible roots. Many regard it as a blend of French chérie (beloved, dear) with Lila/Leila - names linked to Arabic layla (night) and Sanskrit lila/lilā (play, divine sport) - yielding tender meanings such as beloved Lila or beloved night. Others see it as a creative variant of Cyrilla/Cirila, the feminine of Cyril from Greek Kyrillos (lordly), which lends a dignified, elevated sense.
Usage is sparse and recent, appearing in late 20th and early 21st century records as parents favor soft Cher- and -ila patterns. It travels well across languages. Variant spellings include Cherilla, Cherilah, Sherila, and Cheryla; related names are Cherie, Cheryl, Lila/Leila, and Cyrilla/Cirila. Possible nicknames: Cheri/Sherri, Rila, Lila, Ella. Likely pronunciations are CHEH-ree-lah or sher-EE-luh.
