What is the meaning of the name Sherri ?

The baby name Sherri is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈʃɛri/ (SHER-ee).

Sherri is English in Origin.

Sherri (pronounced SHER-ee) is an English feminine name, a respelling of Sherry/Sheri. Its roots trace to French chérie “dear, beloved,” borrowed into English as a term of endearment and personal name; a secondary association is the word sherry, the fortified wine named for Jerez in Andalusia. In use, Sherri chiefly carries the affectionate sense “beloved,” and it also functions as a nickname for Sharon, Shirley, Cheryl, or Sherilyn.

Use rose in the United States in the 1950s–1970s, peaking in the 1960s, echoing mid-century tastes for bright -ri endings; the Four Seasons’ 1962 hit "Sherry" likely aided its rise. The name appears in smaller numbers in Canada, the UK, and Australia. Variants include Sheri, Sherry, Sherrie, and the French forms Cheri/Cherie; related Shari also occurs, though often tied to Sarah. Today Sherri reads warmly retro yet familiar.
