<p>Sherif is a masculine name of Arabic origin meaning 'noble,' 'honored,' or 'esteemed.' It derives from the Arabic word 'sharif' (شريف), which historically designated descendants of Prophet Muhammad through his grandson Hassan. The name carries connotations of dignity, integrity, and high social status in Arabic cultures. While 'sheriff' in English refers to a law enforcement position, the personal name Sherif maintains its original noble meaning. The name is widely used throughout North Africa and the Middle East, particularly in Egypt. In Western countries, it remains relatively uncommon but recognizable, often used by families with Arab or Muslim heritage.</p>
