Sheral is English in Origin.

Sheral is a modern English feminine name, likely a variant or elaboration of Sheryl/Cheryl. Those names emerged in the early 20th century, influenced by French cherie ("dear, beloved") and by the gemstone name Beryl (from Greek beryllos). As such, Sheral is commonly interpreted to mean "beloved" or, by extension, "precious like a gem." The initial Sh- reflects the American preference that produced Sheryl from Cheryl during the mid-century boom.

Usage followed that trend: while never widespread, Sheral appears sporadically in English-speaking records from the 1950s onward and remains rare today, appealing to parents seeking a familiar sound with a distinctive twist. Variants and related forms include Sheryl, Cheryl, Sheril, Sherell, Sherrell, Sherral, Sheralyn, Sherilyn, and Sheryll; nicknames include Sher and Sherry. Comparable names with overlapping roots or feel are Cherie, Ceryl, and Beryl.
