Cherrel is English in Origin.

Cherrel is a modern English feminine name, a rare variant of Cheryl and Cherelle. Its roots trace to French cherie "dear, beloved," which fed into the early-20th-century creation Cheryl, often explained as a blend of Cherie and the jewel name Beryl, with influence from Meryl. The -el/-elle ending functions as a familiar diminutive in French-influenced names, yielding forms like Cherrel and Cherelle.

Usage follows the mid-century boom of Cheryl in the United States and Britain; Cherrel surfaces later as an alternate spelling in the late 20th century, remaining uncommon but recognizable within the wider Cheryl/Cherelle family. Variants include Cheryl, Sheryl, Cherryl, Cherrell, Cherelle, and Cherrelle; related pet forms are Cher and Cheri. The core meaning centers on "beloved; dear," with a secondary association to the beryl gemstone via Cheryl. Cherrel therefore carries an affectionate sense with a streamlined, two-syllable profile.
