Cherie is a French name meaning "dear" or "beloved," derived from the word "cher" and often used as a term of endearment. It first gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the 20th century. Notable bearers include Cherie Blair, the British lawyer and wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Cherie Lunghi, the English actress known for films like *The Missionary*. While no major places share the name, its sound echoes the similar Sherrie or the French Chérie. In Scotland, Cherie saw a modest peak in the 1970s and 1980s, often chosen for its soft, romantic feel—a charming choice that feels both classic and gently French.
