Cheri
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Cheri: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1982.
Cheri is a French-derived name, a variant of Chérie, meaning "darling" or "beloved." It gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, often chosen for its soft, affectionate sound. Notable bearers include American comedian and actress Cheri Oteri, best known for her work on *Saturday Night Live*, and politician Cheri Bustos, a former U.S. Representative from Illinois. The name also appears in pop culture through singer Cheri Dennis. While no major places share its root, the unrelated but phonetically similar name Cher has become a cultural icon in her own right. A charming and slightly vintage choice, Cheri remains a sweet, romantic option for a baby girl.
