Shermie Origin and Meaning

The name Shermie is a boy's name.

Shermie is a masculine diminutive of Sherman, which originated as an English occupational surname meaning 'shearer of cloth' or 'cutter of cloth.' This playful, affectionate variation maintains the friendly, approachable quality that nicknames often convey while serving as a given name in its own right. The suffix '-ie' adds a warm, familiar tone to the more formal Sherman. While not commonly used as a legal first name, Shermie has occasionally appeared as a nickname for men named Sherman throughout the 20th century. It carries a somewhat vintage charm reminiscent of mid-century America, when such nickname forms were more prevalent. The name has never ranked among popular baby names in official statistics.
