The name Sherryl is of English origin and is a variant spelling of the name Cheryl. It is composed of two elements: "shire" which means "bright" or "clear," and "ly" which serves as a diminutive suffix. Therefore, the name Sherryl translates to "bright little one." This name gained popularity in the mid-20th century, likely due to its association with famous individuals such as Cheryl Tiegs, an American model, actress, and businesswoman who was prominent during that time.
Sherryl is a rare and unique name, with only five babies being given this name each year on average in the United States between 1946 and now. This means that over seven decades, approximately 350 individuals have been named Sherryl in the U.S., making it a distinctive choice for parents looking to give their child a special and uncommon name. Despite its rarity, Sherryl has maintained a consistent presence in the country's naming landscape since the mid-20th century.
