Cherisse is French in Origin.
Cherisse is a modern English feminine given name whose form blends French and English influences. It is most often traced to French chérie (dear, sweetheart) and cerise (cherry), alongside the English verb cherish, while also overlapping with Charisse - a surname-turned-given name popularized mid-20th century by dancer-actress Cyd Charisse. The prevailing sense is “beloved,” “dear one,” with a secondary, playful association with the cherry.
Use of Cherisse and its close spellings appeared in the Anglophone world from the 1950s onward, enjoying modest peaks in the United States, Britain, and the Caribbean before settling into rarer, boutique use. Pronunciations typically cluster around shuh-REES/sheh-REES. Common variants and near-forms include Cherise, Cherice, Cheris, Cherisse, Charisse, Carise, and the phonetic spellings Sherise and Sherisse; related names are Cherie and Cerise. The name’s gentle sound and affectionate meaning sustain its quiet, enduring appeal.
