Cheryll is a modern English given name, a stylistic spelling of Cheryl. The name likely arose in the early 20th century as a blend of French chérie (“dear, beloved,” from Latin carus) and the gemstone name Beryl (from Greek beryllos), paralleling fashionable -yl endings seen in Meryl and Beryl. Some also link it to the Carol/Charles family, though the “beloved” and “gem” pathways are the most widely cited. The doubled -ll in Cheryll is an embellishment rather than a change in pronunciation.

Use spread rapidly in the United States and Britain from the 1930s through the 1960s, with creative spellings like Cheryll peaking during that period before receding. Variants and related forms include Cheryl (standard), Cheryle, Cherryl, Cherrell/Cherell, Cherilyn, and the phonetic counterpart Sheryl/Sherryl. Nicknames range from Cher and Cheri/Cheri to Cherri. The name’s prevailing meanings are “beloved” and, by association, “precious gemstone.”
