What is the meaning of the name Sheri ?

The baby name Sheri is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈʃɛri/ (SHEH-ree).

Sheri is English in Origin.

Sheri is a modern English feminine name, most often a streamlined variant of Sherry/Cheryl. Its chief linguistic root is French cheri/cherie, “dear” or “beloved,” which fed into several 20th-century English names and endearments. Some bearers use Sheri as a short form of Sharon or Sherilyn; in those cases, secondary meanings from the base names may apply (Sharon from Hebrew for “plain, meadow”). The wine name sherry, itself from Spanish Jerez, also reinforced the sound and spelling in English.

The spelling Sheri gained currency across the United States, Canada, and other English-speaking countries from the 1950s, peaking in the 1960s and waning after the 1980s, giving it a mid-century vintage feel today. Common variants include Sherri, Sherrie, Sherie, Sherry, Sheree, and the French-tinged Cheri/Cherie; related forms are Cheryl/Sheryl and elaborations like Sherilyn or Sherilee. Usual meaning given: “beloved.”
