Cherine is Persian in Origin.
Cherine (often written Chérine) is a feminine name with two converging etymologies. In the Persian-to-Arabic stream, it corresponds to Shirin/Shireen/Shereen (Persian Shirin), meaning "sweet, pleasant." In French, it aligns with chéri(e) "dear, beloved," yielding an elaborated form Chérine. Together these lines support the sense of "sweet" and "beloved." Common pronunciations include sheh-REEN and shuh-REEN; in English it may also be read cheh-REEN.
The name appears in Persian literature via the romance of Khosrow o Shirin, which helped spread Shirin across the Middle East; modern Arabic-speaking communities often use the spellings Sherine or Shereen. In Maghrebi and Levantine contexts influenced by French orthography, Cherine is widespread, and it entered French and Belgian use in the late 20th century. Variants and cognates include Shirin, Shireen, Shereen, Sherine, Shirine, and the French Chérine; related French forms are Chérie/Cherie.
