Cheryllyn is in Origin.

Cheryllyn is a modern English compound name formed by blending Cheryl and Lynn. Cheryl arose in the early 20th century, likely influenced by the French term chérie ("dear, beloved") combined with the -yl endings fashionable in names like Beryl and Meryl; some also link it to Cherry. Lynn comes from Welsh llyn, "lake" or "pool." Together, Cheryllyn carries an interpretive meaning such as "beloved by the lake" or "darling of the waters," while retaining the mid-century warmth of its parts.

Usage reflects North American taste for hyphenations and blends: Cheryl peaked in the 1940s-60s, and compounded forms followed later, giving Cheryllyn sporadic use from the 1970s onward. Variant spellings include Cheryl-Lynn, Cherylyn, Cherylin, Cherilyn, Sherilyn, Sherylyn, and Sheryl-Lynne; shortened forms like Cheryl, Cher, and Lynn often appear in daily use. The name feels vintage-modern, familiar yet distinctive due to its length and double l.
