Sherri
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sherri: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1976.
Sherri emerged as a 20th-century American respelling of Cherie, which itself comes from the French *chérie* meaning 'beloved' or 'darling', lending it an affectionate, sweet-natured air. The name gained wider popularity in the 1950s and 60s, partly thanks to actresses like Sherri Shepherd, the Emmy-winning co-host of *The View*, and Sherri Saum, known for her role on *The Fosters*. While there are no major place names directly derived from Sherri, the root shares its meaning with the French town of Chéry, which carries the same sentimental etymology. A charming variant is Sherry, which also echoes the name of the fortified wine, though the two are etymologically distinct.
