Cheryl is English in Origin.
Cheryl is an English feminine given name coined in the early 20th century, most plausibly blending French cherie ("dear, beloved") with the fashionable -yl ending seen in Beryl and Meryl. The resulting meaning aligns with "beloved" or "darling," and the initial Cher- element also kept company with contemporaneous names such as Cherie and Cherry.
After sporadic appearances in the 1910s-20s, Cheryl rose sharply across the English-speaking world, peaking in mid-century popularity - especially in the United States and United Kingdom - before declining from the 1980s onward. Well-known variants include Sheryl (a phonetic spelling), Cheryll, and the elaborations Cherilyn/Cherilynne and Cherylann; related diminutives or cognate forms are Cher, Cherry, Sherry, and Cherie. Internationally, the name is typically pronounced with an initial "SH" or "CH" sound depending on region and spelling. Overall, Cheryl remains a modern classic evoking affection and endearment.
