Sherrie is English in Origin.

Sherrie is an English feminine given name, chiefly a respelling of Sherry. Sherry itself blends several roots: the French chérie (“dear; beloved”), long used in English as a term of endearment and given name; the fortified wine sherry (from Spanish Jerez); and pet-name use for Sharon (Hebrew “plain, level place”) and Shirley (Old English “bright clearing”). Accordingly, Sherrie commonly carries the sense of “beloved,” with secondary associations from Sharon and Shirley.

Use rose quickly in the English‑speaking world after World War II, peaking in the United States during the 1950s–60s and tapering off by the 1980s; it remains recognizable through bearers such as actress Sherrie Hewson and artist Sherrie Levine, and in pop culture via Steve Perry’s song “Oh Sherrie.” Variant spellings include Sherry, Sheri, Sherri, Sherie, and Shery; related forms are Cherie/Chérie. Diminutive or related longer names include Sharon and Shirley.
