Cherrisse is English in Origin.

Cherrisse is a modern English feminine given name shaped by French influence. It blends the sense of chérie (“dear, beloved”) with echoes of cerise (“cherry”), yielding associations of affection and sweetness. The spelling with double r and s mirrors French -isse endings and invites comparison with Charisse and Clarisse (from Latin clarus, “bright”). Common variants and near-variants include Cherise, Cherice, Cherisse, Cherrise, Charisse, and Cerise.

Usage emerged in the mid-20th century across English-speaking regions, especially the United States, the United Kingdom, and Caribbean communities, where French and Creole naming currents were influential. It saw modest attention between the 1970s and 1990s before receding from charts. As a result, Cherrisse reads distinctive yet familiar. Meanings typically given are “beloved” and, by folk etymology, “cherry,” making the name an endearing choice with soft, romantic overtones.
