Girl name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Cheryll: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1983.
Cheryll is a variant spelling of Cheryl, which emerged in the 20th century as a blend of Cherry and Beryl, drawing on the French *cerise* for cherry and the Greek *beryllos* for the gemstone beryl. The name does not have ancient roots but carries a bright, floral feel from its components. Famous bearers include actress Cheryl Ladd, born Cheryll Stoppelmoor, who starred as Kris Munroe in the original *Charlie’s Angels* TV series. In tennis, Cherie or Cheryl is less common, but no major place connections exist for this spelling. Notably, Cheryll remains far rarer than Cheryl, which enjoyed peak popularity in the 1950s and 1960s across the English-speaking world, making this version a distinctive choice for parents seeking a familiar yet individual name.
