Cherrie is English in Origin.

Cherrie is an English feminine name with dual roots. As a spelling of Cherry, it comes from Middle English cherise ‘cherry’ (from Old French cerise < Latin cerasum < Greek kerasos), evoking the fruit and blossom’s associations with sweetness and spring. It can also reflect the French endearment chérie ‘dear; beloved,’ Anglicized as Cherie/Cheri; Cherrie blends the two strands, so meanings range from “cherry” to “darling.” Cherry was used in Britain from the 17th century as a pet form of Charity and more broadly from the late 19th century as a nature name. The spelling Cherrie and its cousins rose in the mid‑20th century across the English‑speaking world amid the vogue for French‑flavored names. Variant forms include Cherry, Cherie, Cheri, Cherri, and related Sherry/Sherrie (influenced by the same sounds). Diminutives include Cher, Cherry, and Ree; masculine or unisex uses are rare.
