What is the meaning of the name Sherryl ?

The baby name Sherryl is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈʃɛrəl/ (SHER-əl).

Sherryl is English in Origin.

Sherryl is a modern English given name, an embellished spelling of Sheryl/Cheryl. Cheryl emerged in the early 20th century, likely as a blend of French chérie (dear, beloved) and the gemstone name Beryl, or as chérie with the then-fashionable -yl ending. Because of this, Sherryl is commonly interpreted to mean “beloved.” The shift from Ch- to Sh- reflects pronunciation in American English and may also have been influenced by names like Sharon and the nickname Sherry.

Usage blossomed in the mid-20th century, with Sherryl appearing in U.S., Canadian, Australian, and British records from the 1940s through the 1970s before declining; today it reads as a vintage choice. Variants and related forms include Cheryl, Sheryl, Cheryll, Sheryll, Cherryl, Cherie, Sheri, and the diminutives Sherry and Cher. Sherril/Sherrill also occur but often derive from a surname.
